 |  Tess of the D'Urbervillesby Thomas Hardy Thomas Hardy is my favorite novelist; this is my favorite novel and has been for over 20 years. I've read it so many times that I've lost count, and I expect that I will read it at least a dozen times more. |
 |  Perfumeby Patrick Suskind An absolutely essential novel, about an absolutely reprehensible character. My favorite book written since... well, since Thomas Hardy stopped writing books. |
 |  Skinny Legs and Allby Tom Robbins If you want a writer who finds joy in playing with language, you'd be hard pressed to do better than Tom Robbins. Skinny Legs is my personal favorite, but Another Roadside Attraction could easily fit into slot number three, as well. |
 |  "It's a Wonderful Life"Think this is only a Christmas movie? Think again. It's enjoyable at any time, but Christmas provides a good excuse to pull it off your shelf at least once per year. |
 |  The Essential Leonard Cohenby Leonard Cohen It doesn't have to be The Essential Leonard Cohen. It can be any, and every, of Leonard's albums up to an including 2000's Ten New Songs. But if you don't have a love for Cohen yet, this is a great place to start. |
