Celebrating National Book Month With MH's All Time Favorites

This is a list of all time favorite books. Only one book per author. These are books that I've reread multiple times and/or whose story I go back to over in my head. Some of these books are attached to very strong memories. Others are returned to be for the creativity they inspire. I hope you find something good in them.
