What books would you paint on your stairs?

I've seen the pictures on Pinterest but didn't think much of it other than "that's cool". After all, I share my house with people who don't read as much as I do. Would they (meaning husband) be willing to redo our stairs? How would I choose which books to include? Would have I to share the stairs with the other two readers in the house?

Then Elizabeth at Silver's Reviews had a post about it (here) and I started thinking about it again.

I've got 14 risers to paint. Our stairs have a corner so most won't be seen from the front door. I think I can narrow it down to 14 authors but not sure about titles. Also, the bottom three could be seen from the front door but about the only time you'd see the bottom two is walking up to the front door while it's opened.

1. Memorial Day by Vince Flynn
2. The Four Phase Man by Richard Steinberg
3. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
4. Arrow's Flight by Mercedes Lackey
5. Dune by Frank Herbert
6. The Cat Who Played Post Office by Lillian Jackson Braun
7.  Reflex by Dick Francis
8.  Dragon Harper by Anne McCaffrey
9. Magician by Raymond E. Fiest
10. On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony
11. Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce
12. Hazard by Jo Beverley
13. It's In His Kiss by Julia Quinn
14. There's No Such Things as a Dragon by Jack Kent

I did it! Ann McCaffrey was the hardest to choose for, I narrowed it down to five titles before going with a Pern title. Of these 14 titles, my daughter read one (and the series), my husband has read two (and the series) and my son has read two (and the series). I have read all of them, most of them more than twice.

What titles would you choose?
