The 3rd Top-12 All-Time

Back on March 21, 2013, I posted my top 12 books of all-time.  Then, on April 24, 2014, I posted my 2nd set of top books (13 because it's a baker's dozen).  And now (drum roll, please), I've got another 13 (yep, another BD).  Some (many?) of these books you have probably heard of. And, of course, you can go to a variety of places to get synopses of the ones you don't know.  Your other alternative (as a last resort) is to ask me for a rundown and recommendation based on what kind of genres you like.  Bottom line is that these are all some mighty fine books.
