saw this over at Shelley’s, and thought it sounded like a great question for all of you:
“This can be a quick one. Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you’ve read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.”
Fifteen books that will always stick with me, right off the top of my head…. K, here goes:
- The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson
- Matrimony by Joshua Henkin
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
- Lisey’s Story by Stephen King
- Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
- The Pearl by John Steinbeck
- The Giver by Lois Lowry
- The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
- Tess of the d’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
- Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
- The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis
- Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman
- Lord of the Flies by William Golding
- A Rumor of War by Philip Caputo
Now, not all are on my top 10 list, oddly enough, and not all of them are what I’d call “great novels.” Of course, there are many others that will also stick with me, but I’ve written this post while Gwen and Maggie are fighting and tattling, my friend came over to chat and The Departed is playing on the TV, so we’re all lucky Dick and Jane wasn’t the only book title I could think of.
