"I stole this one from a Facebook meme going around: 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."
Hmmmm.... a challenge!
1 Stranger in a Strange Land by RAH
2 Starship Troopers by RAH
3 Interview with a Vampire by Ann Rice
4 Azure Bonds by Novak and Grubb
5 Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
6 A Fistful of Charms by Kim Harrison
7 Kitty and the Midnight Hour by... YOU
8 The Cat Who Walks Through Walls by RAH
9 Shadows of the Flame by Lydia C. Golden
10 The Art of War by Sun Tzu
11 The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
12 In Death Ground by David Weber
13 Spellsinger's Scherzo by Alan Dean Foster
14 Nightfall by Asimov and Silverburg
15 The Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn
Commentary - Of these books, Shadows of the Flame is listed not for being a great read, but because it is self-published and will haunt my mind as an example of what not to do in a book. Why I managed to tough through it is more a testament to masochistic tendencies. All of the rest of these books I've read more than once; in the case of Stranger, over 20 times now.
