Books Of My Life -- ganked from
xanath
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.
Aside: I did these chronologically; and I took this meme to mean only fiction. I could do another list of the same sort with non-fiction. And yes, there are reasons why Tolkien and Mary Renault occur twice, and why in several author's cases, the one I list is not te main work they are associated with.
- Winnie The Pooh -- A.A. Milne
- The Hobbit -- J.R.R. Tolkien
- A Struggle For Rome -- Felix Dahn
- The Silmarillion -- J.R.R. Tolkien
- The Portrait Of Mr. W.H. -- Oscar Wilde
- The Persian Boy -- Mary Renault
- The Charioteer -- Mary Renault
