Good list. I read The Killer Angels almost every summer to coincide with the events at Gettysburg. A Moveable Feast is perhaps my favorite Hemingway book and he never wanted it published.
Chris,
I think A Moveable Feast is Hemingway's best book and that his short stories are much better than his novels.
Your annual read of The Killer Angels is a great tradition.

Greetings from SC, Michael.
I was surprised that Atlas Shrugged was not on your list.
Ray,
I have always, for some reason, had difficulty getting into Atlas Shrugged. I have friends who have read it multiple times so the problem may be mine. It is on my Give It Another Try list!
Michael
