fifteen books in fifteen minutes

I took this from ruth_the_sleuth.livejournal.com

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.

Copy these instructions and tag your friends - because I'm interested in seeing what books are in your head.

1. The Writing Life by Annie Dillard
2. On Beauty by Zadie Smith
3. On the Road by Jack Kerouac
4. The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
5. Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
6. Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson
7. Watership Down
8. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (just saw part of the movie)
9. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
10. Tropic of Capricorn by Henry Miller
11. The Diaries of Anais Nin
12. Orlando by Virginia Woolf
13. A sentimental Education by Gustave Flaubert
14. The first Animorphs book (did those have titles?)
15. Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon.

A lot of these I've read recently or just enjoyed a great deal.

I tag anyone who happens to be reading this. Post it in the comments. I want to know.
