Three Best?

Published October 10, 2023 by A.J.B. Johnston

This post is likely a bad idea. But what the heck, here goes.

Late afternoon the other day, it popped into my head: “What are your three best books?”

Of course, that’s a ridiculous question. It’s like asking “Who’s your favourite child?” There’s nothing to be gained by answering.

Nonetheless, I gave it a moment’s thought. And more or less instantly I came up with the three books below, nicely lit by the golden, setting sun.

Why those three? Two history books and a YA novel?

I’m guessing it’s because each one is a continuous tale. Once all three begin, they continue page after page until the reader gets to the end.

My other history books do not unfold quite as compellingly, and my other novels are not as simply told as “Into the Wind”.

So, there it is, one author’s late afternoon thoughts about his twenty plus books.

I would be delighted if anyone would like to chime in. Have I chosen wisely or am I sadly mistaken?
