Sit down to a great read!

During the cold days of winter, it can often be hard to think of ways to break up the monotony. Why not use this often dreary time to read an acclaimed book? Below you'll find links to lists compiled of the best books ever written, for both adults and children. Looking through the children's list brought such a smile to my face, since so many of those books are associated with childhood memories. What a neat thing to pass on to my own children, the gift of reading them these books and helping them create memories of their own. Of the books listed in the top contemporary novels, some are very ambitious reads, but think of the sense of accomplishment you'll have when you turn the final page. You can do it!
