		<description><![CDATA[This list is getting kinda old, and I&#8217;m not sure that ALL of these books would still be in my all-time top ten (except Watership Down, which will always hold top spot). So, for more recent titles, check out my yearly Top Ten lists and think hard&#8211;what books would make YOUR top ten?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is my hands-down favorite book of all time. I think I&#8217;ve read it about 15 times since I was a kid. It&#8217;s about this community of rabbits (yes, you read that right, rabbits) who are forced to leave their warren when it is bulldozed over to make a construction site. So starts their adventurous [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before all the Oprah hoopla and the big movie whoop-de-doo, I read this book for a creative writing class in college, and we were supposed to study Morrison&#8217;s intricate pattern of structure and characterization. Forget that! I was so wow-ed by the power and lyricism of the story that I finished the book long before [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s not to love? A dashing, brooding older man, a plain but intellectual young woman, a spooky old house and a crazy lady in the attic! All the elements you need to make this classic story of love and loss completely unforgettable. I only regret that I waited until college to read it&#8211;don&#8217;t make the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No matter how many times I read this book, even though I KNOW how its&#8217; going to end, I still end up bawling for this tale of puppy love between a hill boy and his two coon hounds. I mean the kid saves money for like TWO years in a coffee can to buy these [...]]]></description>

Her pain deepens when she realizes that her parents, who can no longer get along, intend to separate her from her beloved sister.

		<description><![CDATA[This book is the definition of the word &#8220;raw&#8221;. It&#8217;s so unflinching and plainspoken that the facts of the story are all that&#8217;s need to speak volumes, and at times, scream. Linda is a thirteen year old that has been taken out of her incompetent mother&#8217;s care after one of the men her mother has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love this book on many levels&#8211;first of all, it&#8217;s hilarious. The main guy in this story, Rob, is a total slacker who owns and obsesses over a record store in England. His day-to-day dealings with customers and his dorky employees will have you laughing so loud, your stomach will hurt. Secondly, it&#8217;s a love [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I included this title because I thought about this book for days after reading it and I think the plot is completely different from almost anything that I&#8217;ve ever read. Tora is a thirteen year old girl from a close-knit family in 19th century Norway who is struck down by leprosy and forced to move [...]]]></description>
