Books meme
I've nicked this from FaceBook as it seems more LJ-appropriate. I'm a massive book evangelist and constantly lending things out to people, so it seemed like a good idea to have a go at making a list of the ones I can't forget. I've tried to keep it to one book per author, otherwise the list would probably look very different.
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. Tag 15 friends, including me, because I'm interested in seeing what books my friends choose (and might try them myself if I like the title).

The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving
Complicity by Iain Banks
Atonement by Ian McEwan
London Fields by Martin Amis
The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien
The Wisdom of Crocodiles by Paul Hoffman
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
I, Lucifer by Glen Duncan
The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson
The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut
Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
Vernon God Little by DBC Pierre
The Fountain at the Center of the World by Robert Newman
Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx
The Liar by Stephen Fry
I cheated slightly because I'm sitting next to my bookshelf, and I'm sure there are books I'm forgetting because I've lent them to people, but this is pretty close.
