Fifteen books that stick with me.

fitofpique shared an interesting meme: This can be a quick one. 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.I do not usually do memes, but this one really speaks to me. I've decided to focus exclusively on prose fiction, because I could easily come

Oh! How weird that I didn't think of Tolkien at all!

Yeah, I'm sure I've missed some really important books and will be kicking myself as I walk around the house looking at what's on our shelves. I wanted to pull these books from my head, though, instead of being reminded of them; it seemed more in the spirit of picking books that stick with me. :)

Wow, it's really a difficult task, though, because like so many of us I read so much. By narrowing the list down to prose fiction, I had to leave out things like Beowulf and the Elder Edda, and I waffled on the Mabinogion and the Prose Edda. Agh, it's so complicated. So many books to love, so little time. :)

We clearly have excellent taste! :)
