Default Top 10 Favorite Books

Most of us Parker folks seem to think a bit alike and enjoy some of the same things. I'm just curious as to what your Top 10 Books or authors might be? Perhaps there may be one or two out there that some of us have missed. "Tis the season."

That's a challenge for sure...

Not in any order, but...

Harold P. Sheldon

William Harnden Foster

John Taintor Foote

Gene Hill

Fred Everett

Burton P. Spiller

Nash Buckingham

George King, "That's Ruff"

Philip H. Babcock

Edmund Ware Smith

Corey Ford

Harry Middleton

John Gierach

Ted Nelson Lundrigan

George Bird Evans

Thomas Mcguane

Sparse Grey Hackle

Bill Tapply


Oh, you said ten... I'm sorry - I got carried away glancing over just a couple of shelves but I know I've missed a bunch of good ones.

Titles?... just about anything they wrote are all my favorites. I really can't narrow it to ten.

Robert Ruark. My favorite is The Old Man and the Boy. All of Ruark's books are excellent.

One book I enjoyed many years ago was The 13 valley by John Del Vecchio. I don't read much any more, just The Book. Enjoyed bad word, The book was intersting. A book about war so one can't really enjoy it.
