Well, this ranking was based mainly on pleasure reading. If I were to use a different method of ranking, The Road and Kite Runner would be a lot higher on the list.

Messing with you? Of course not. I am genuinely shocked that Before Green Gables was last on your list. I just didn't see it coming.

Uhuh. Feigning shock?

And so, Ms. Lisa, where exactly would Before Green Gables fall on your list? :)
