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)

Jonathan Kozol: Savage Innequalities
Mary Doria Russell: The Sparrow
J. R. R. Tolkien: The Silmarillion
Bill Watterson: Calvin and Hobbes
Madeline L'Engle: A Wrinkle in Time (series)
Alexandre Dumas: The Count of Monte Cristo
Gerald Sittser: A Grace Disguised
Robert Heinlein: Starship Troopers
Tadzeus Borowski: This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen
Corrie Ten Boom: The Hiding Place
William Shakespeare: Hamlet
Stephen Vincent Benet: By the Waters of Babylon (short story, but it fits)
Frank Herbert: Dune (series)
C. S. Lewis: The Chronicles of Narnia (series)

and last, so that it rings in everyone's ears...

God: The Holy Bible
