\nAs a writer sitting at my table, showing off all the books I\u2019ve written, I frequently get asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s your favorite book?\u201d  That\u2019s a very hard question to answer, because I have very strong feelings about all my books.  I wouldn\u2019t have written them otherwise.  None of these are commissioned works designed to meet somebody else\u2019s order.<\/div>\n
\nSo, instead of answering the question, I usually try to read the person talking to me and try to figure out what they would like best.  That usually works.<\/div>\n
\nHowever, I\u2019ve decided to write a little introduction to each book, telling you what I feel about it.  In essence, I\u2019ll describe why every book is my favorite.<\/div>\n
\nI\u2019ll be posting these little descriptions every few days on my henrymelton.com site, and then collect them all on the  wordpress archive for future reference. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nIf you read them all, you\u2019ll probably be able to make your own judgement about which book is my favorite — at least from your perspective. https:\/\/henrymelton.net\/2\/blog\/<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
