I Have A Confession To Make…

I have never read THE HOBBIT. There, I said it.

Actually, there are probably many more fantasy/sci fi books that are out there that I am ashamed I have not read. There is kind of an established cannon of must-read books for the fantasy/horror/sci fi genre – and definitely THE HOBBIT is one of them.

But better late than never – I got my copy from the library last week and got half-way through over my vacation. I would have liked to have finished it, but a 10 month old boy has a way of taking up most of my free time.

So, yes, I am now reading THE HOBBIT – and I like it very much. I will hold my opinions to the end, but there is something I need to know from my faithful readers: what other books am I missing out on? What, in your opinion is in the cannon of must-read fantasy/horror/sci fi books?

Here are a few just off the top of my head:

Bram Stoker’s Dracula – read it

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein – not read it

I Am Legend – read it

At The Mountains of Madness – read it

The Stand – not read it

All the Harry Potter books – read ’em

That’s all I can think of for right now – I know there are a LOT more, so I’m interested in hearing your suggestions. Right now my wife is waiting in the basement with some popcorn.

Its time for a “Supernatural” and “Smallville” double feature.
