1. Mere Christianity - C. S. Lewis
2. Grace - God's Unmerited Favor - Charles Spurgeon
3. Perelandra - C. S. Lewis (best of space trilogy)
4. The Illustrated Man - Ray Bradbury
5. Wise Blood - Flannery O'Connor (I concur with Josh)
6. 'Til We Have Faces - C. S. Lewis (I concur with Phaith)
7. Living With Fred - Brad Whittington
8. Red - Ted Dekker (best of colors trilogy)
9. The Screwtape Letters - C. S. Lewis
10. Desiring God - John Piper
my package of books would also contain a copy of the NKJV Bible.
*I've read most of "Everyday Apocalypse." Maybe I'll finish it now since you rated it highly Josh. But "Cather In The Rye" left me wanting more. Overall I was disappointed with it, so I never picked up "Franny and Zooey."

I imagine that, if you've read Catcher, Franny and Zooey would majorly surprise you, Tom. Catcher is arguabley a very hopeless story that ends on a note of despair; Franny and Zooey, however, ends not with an unresolved problem but with a definitive answer... and a very good answer, at that.
The two books are very similar. And, completely different.

If you don’t have freedom as a principle, you can never see a reason not to make an exception. There are constantly going to be times when for one reason or another there’s some practical convenience in making an exception.
