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 15 minutes. Copy the instructions into your own note.
1. Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
2. The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. He originally intended it to be one long book and so I will count it as one. The publishers insisted it be broken up into three volumes.
3. I Will Fear No Evil by Robert Heinlein
4. The Fifth Sacred Thing by Starhawk
5. To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis
6. The Zero Stone by Andre Norton
7. The Number of the Beast by Robert Heinlein

10. Moon of Three Rings by Andre Norton
11. The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum
12. Little, Big by John Crowley
13. The Lensman Series by E. E. 'Doc' Smith. OK, this is more than one book but I'm going to count it as one.
14. The Doomsday Book by Connie Willis
15. Judgement on Janus by Andre Norton
I started this list at Panera this morning but the wifi kept stalling so I finished it this afternoon at home, but I did not cheat and look at my bookshelves, though I will admit the last few were tough calls. And damn! I need to reread Little, Big ASAP!
