Book meme
shirtlifterbear has posted a meme about the 15 books one's read. Here are the
Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. List 15 books you've read that will always stick with you. They should be the first 15 you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.
1. Sexing the Cherry, Jeanette Winterson
2. The Handmaid's tale, Margaret Atwood
3. The English Patient, Michael Ondaatje
4. One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel Garcia Marquez
5. Ficciones, Jorge Luis Borges
6. Dancing at Lughnasa, Brian Friel
7. Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Tom Stoppard
8. Collected Poems, Geo Milev
9. Collected Poems, Peyo Yavorov
10. Codemned Souls (Осъдени Души), Dimitur Dimov
11. Principles of Mathematical Analysis, Walter Rudin
12. The Lover, Marguerite Duras
13. Lord of the Rings, J.R.R Tolkien
14. Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling
15. Collected Poems, by T.S. Eliot
I can't believe that Harry Potter came at 14. I decided not to list multiple books by the same author. Winterson, Ondaatje, and Atwood are some of my favorite writers and I have read a lot of their work. So are many of the other authors on the list. And finally, I've also read (or at least looked at in some detail) at all books by Rudin: Baby Rudin, Papa Rudin, Grandpa Rudin are the standard three. But I'm also familiar with Uncle Rudin (his book on the unit polydisk), Daddy-in-Law Rudin (on the unit ball), and Nephew Rudin (his autobiography). I'm a GEEK.
I've read only one of the books on shirtlifterbear 's list: Dykes to Watch Out For, which is a fabulous comic book, one of the very few I've read.
