Annual Reads - Comments

In response to the post on Reading Traditions, some nominees from readers:

• Anonymous said...
  Emerson's essays - especially Self Reliance - and Lord of the Rings.
• Kurt Harden said...
  Every year since 1983, between Christmas and New Year, I read William F. Buckley's Overdrive.
• DarkoV said...
  "Blood of The Lamb" by Peter DeVries.How precious, the child. How unforgiving, unpredictable, but not cruel, life can be.
• Eclecticity said...
  I've never had a like tradition, but if I did, the first book that came to mind was The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning.
  

Execupundit note: Another one that I may revive: "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole. I used to read it for career advice.
