Fifteen titles
Gacked from [livejournal.com profile] dragonet2

Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you've read that will always stick with you, for whatever reasons. This isn't your top 15 canon or even books you'd necessarily recommend, just books that have made their mark on you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.


The Book of Mormon
The Holy Bible
Tolkien: Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit (Counts as 1)
Thurber: The Thirteen Clocks
Saroyan: The Human Comedy
Twain: Huckleberry Finn
Klemmer: The Compassionate Samurai
The Arbinger Institute: The Anatomy of Peace
Asimov: The Foundation Trilogy (Counts as 1)
Dickens: Oliver Twist
Hardy: The Mayor of Casterbridge
Ten Boom: The Hiding Place
Frankl: Man's Search for Meaning
Kopp: If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him!
Kozol: Death at an Early Age

The Bible (King James version.... the man was a Scot but deserves kudos for getting a standard English text out...)
LOTR/ The Hobbit
Three Men In A Boat (Jerome Klapka Jerome)
Management & Machiavelli (Anthony Jay)
A Christmas Carol (Charles Dickens)
A Spell For Chameleon (Piers Anthony)

Stalker
A Christmas Carol (lord, but what version.... say Scrooge with Albert Finney)
Snow White
The General (Keaton)
Shrek
Any of the Ealings... say The Titfield Thunderbolt
Star Wars (the original, yes, so called part IV)
Dominion Tank Police (all acts I - IV)
Eskimo Nell
