Book meme
Tagged by elrhiarhodan
Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don't take but a few minutes, and don't think too hard - they don't have to be the "right" or "great" works, just the ones that have touched you.
I've actually done this meme before, but I'll treat this as an opportunity to review the list for any glaring omissions.
In no particular order:
1. Diary of Anne Frank
2. The Help - Kathryn Stockett
3. Watership Down - Richard Adams
4. Conduct Unbecoming - Randy Shilts
5. The Incarnations of Immortality series - Piers Anthony - I know naming a whole series may be sort of cheating, but they really are so interconnected that I don't think I could pick just one.
6. Nickel and Dimed - Barbara Ehrenreich
7. One Second After - William Forstchen
8. The Girl with the Silver Eyes - Willo Davis Roberts
9. Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH - Robert C. O'Brien
10. Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keyes
There it is, with only two changes. Honorable mentions have to go to the Harry Potter series and Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series, but I figured I'd be pushing my luck to include more than one series on my actual list :-). I think anyone I might tag has probably already been tagged, but if anyone hasn't, feel free to jump in!
