That book meme that's going around
List 15 books you've read that will always stick with you: list the first 15 you can recall in 15 minutes. Don't take too long to think about it.
I'm limiting this to prose works. I might do another one for comics, later.
1) Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass
2) Snow Crash
3) Watership Down
4) All of Miles Vorkosigan
5) True Names
6) Lord of the Rings (and The Hobbit)
7) The Dragaeran novels
8) A Christmas Carol
9) The Anubis Gates
10) Lizard Music (and much more of Pinkwater)
11) The Society of Mind
12) Orlando Furioso, etc.
13) The Incredible Umbrella
14) Tunnel in the Sky (and many other Heinlein)
15) The Flight of Dragons
Even limited to prose, I can't stop at just 15...
16) Freaky Friday (and sequels)
17) The Westing Game
18) The Way of a Man With a Maid
19) The Day of the Triffids

Check out the reviews on Amazon--they're a scream. Someone who says "this is illegal to read in my country" thanks the anonymous author for inspiring him to learn English, and now he's an English teacher. He must have a, well, interesting vocabulary.
