Hey! Thanks for doing it. I can’t think of any books with those letters…

And don’t ever mention You Don’t Mess with the Zohan again.

The only one I’ve got to fill in there is Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C. S. Lewis. I’ve got a bunch of “K” books on my shelf, but they’re almost all unread! :)

Interesting post. I love reading these kind of posts because they will expand my reading horizon.

K: Kansas in August, Patrick Gale (A gay man finds an abandoned baby in subway and decides to take on parenthood.)

V: Voyage in the Dark, Jean Rhys (This one is sitting on my shelf. It delves into a time when women were still playthings of men.)

For Y: Maybe The Yearling?

I bet this is much harder that it appears to be. I think I’ll skip and instead do the Nov LitFlicks Meme/Challenge.

I do want to read The Yearling some day.

Oh, I like your list! I just did this myself, and followed the trail backwards through the blogs and ended up here. Great change from movies to books!

I’m really enjoying your site…glad I stumbled upon it!
