Here are the rules: Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you’ve read that will always stick with you. They don’t have to be the greatest books you’ve ever read, just the ones that stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.
I suck at following the rules. Thought this would be interesting, given how little I read now and how much I USED to love reading. At least half this list was written without much thought… then I needed some help.
