Don't take too long to think about it. List 15 books you've read that will always stick with you -- The first 15 you can recall in 15 minutes.
Here's mine. See a theme? No particular order, btw
1. Queen Of The Damned, by Anee Rice
2. The Stand, by Stephen King
3. The Talisman, by Stephen King
4. Go Ask Alice, by Anonymous
5. Lord Of The Rings trilogy, by JRR Tolkien
6. The Outsiders, by SE Hinton
7. Baja Oklahoma, by Dan Jenkins
8. Chances, by Jackie Collins
9. The Hobbit, by JRR Tolkien
10. Message From Nam, by Danielle Steel (sue me, it's about Vietnam!)
11. A Child Called It, by Dave Pelser
12. The Color Purple, by Alice Walker
13. I'm With The Band, by Pamela Des Barres
14. Lord Of The Flies, by William Golding
15. The Crucible, by Arthur Miller
Of course I'm gonna think of a thousand more in about 5 minutes, but those sprang to mind first, because I've read them all so many times. Yes, I'm a ginormous Stephen King fan, what of it? I do feel, however, that I need to explain the Danielle Steel thing.
My beloved SIL is a big fan of Steel. When I said Id never read any of them, she plied me with a bunch. They're...a-ight. But Message From Nam just grabbed me, hard. It begins with the Kennedy assassination and follows a girl named Paxton (god, I love that name!) from Georgia to UC Berkley, and from there to Saigon. She watched as the sixties crashed down around her head, lost a fiancee to Vietnam, then decided to go there to report what was really happening. As far as Steel books go, that one is way less sappy, more tense, and at the end, nothing is really better. Kinda like the war. and yeah, I read Full Metal Jacket, too. And an autobiography, AND I'm gonna go get We Were Soldiers Once...And Young, too. The Vietnam War facinates me.
