Book Meme - Because I remain fixated on "real" books
Things remain insane but work is going well and I am (mostly) caught up on the reading in my summer school class, despite the sheer volume of pages involved in cramming a three-hour course into fifteen class session.

I think everyone has read Nancy Drew. Or at least heard of it. :) Did you read the Boxcar Children series?

Books that made an impression on me/stuck with me (not sure if I get to 15 now, though) in no special order:
Kate Adie, "Corsets to Camouflage: Women and War"
Emily Yellin, "Our Mothers' War: American Woman at Home and at the Front in World War II"
Everything by Anne C. Voorhoeve (a pity they obviously haven't been translated into English yet) and the Jette series by Monika Feth (so far the first has been translanted: "The Strawberry Picker", though I have no idea why they turned Jette into Jenna...).
Kenneth Cain, Heidi Postlewait and Andrew Thompson, "Emergency Sex (and other desperate measures): True Stories from a War Zone"
Robert Harris, "Fatherland"
William Goldman, "The Princess Bride" (no, really?)
Peter S. Beagle, "The Last Unicorn"
J. R. R. Tolkien, "The Lord Of The Rings" (especially because of Eowyn as a character and Eowyn/Faramir as a ship ( ... )
