Last week, in the office, a short e-mail survey was floating around asking about our favorite books. Below are my (by no means definitive) picks.

Novel All Time (3 choices): Leviathan by Paul, Auster; Pale Fire by Vladamir Nabokov; A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving

Non-Novel: The Pythons Autobiography by Graham Chapman et al.

Children’s Book: Coraline by Neil Gaiman (now); Frog and Toad Are Friends by Arnold Lobel (then)

Recent Recommendations: White Apples by Jonathan Carroll; Perdido Street Station by China Miéville; Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke ; Sunshine by Robin McKinley; and Underworld by Don DeLillo

What are yours?
