I would like finally to read an account of Sherlock Holmes’ adventure involving the Giant Rat of Sumatra, which Holmes mentioned in passing once to Watson but withheld any further details as “the world is not yet prepared” for it.

Where God Went Wrong by Oolon Colluphid Some More of God’s Greatest Mistakes by Oolon Colluphid Who Is This God Person Anyway? by Oolon Colluphid Well That About Wraps It Up for God by Oolon Colluphid
East of Eden, by John Steinbeck A Painted House, by John Grisham The Pillars Of The Earth, by Ken Follett The Winds Of War, by Herman Wouk Texas, by James Michener Shogun, by James Clavell

As for additional books, I think I should include a copy of Fireside girls Handbook.
I’m not sure if The Death Note counts a book for this purpose.
