Books meme from all-unnecessary
directions: "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."
In the order they occurred to me....
The Man in the High Castle, Philip K. Dick
V., Thomas Pynchon
Burton Watson's Chuang Tzu
David Magarshack's Dostoyevsky's Devils (Or Possessed. I don't recall which title he used.)
The Ogre, Michel Tournier
Homage to Catalonia, George Orwell
The Autobiography of Malcolm X
England's Dreaming: Anarchy, Sex Pistols, Punk Rock, and Beyond, Jon Savage
Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung, Lester Bangs
Ferdydurke, Witold Gombrowicz
The Web That Has No Weaver: Understanding Chinese Medicine, Ted Kaptchuk
Solaris, Stanisław Lem
The Zap Gun, Philip K. Dick
The World Within the Word, William Gass
Dubliners, James Joyce
Literary Outlaw: The Life and Times of William S.Burroughs, Ted Morgan
It's been years since I've read most of them, so I'm fairly sure they will stick with me.
