Fifteen Books That Have Stayed With Me

You may have seen this fun book meme floating around the blogs, facebook and other social networking sites. It's my understanding that you're not supposed to take a long time to come up with your list. Off the top of my head, here's the fifteen books that, for one reason or another made an impression on me and stuck with me. it doesn't mean they all are my favorites, just that they are memorable to me. Here they are, obviously, in no particular order.

Start time - 2:59 PM
  • The Lord of the Flies by William Golding
  • Charlotte's Web by E.B. White
  • The Little House on the Prairie series by Laura Engalls Wilder
  • To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
  • The Bible
  • Where Is Joe Merchant? by Jimmy Buffet (?? Don't know why, but this book was a great escape!!)
  • In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
  • The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
  • Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali (Non-Fiction)
  • Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
  • Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
  • Tomato Girl by Jayne Pupek
  • The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
  • While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam Is Destroying The West From Within by Bruce Bawer (Non-Fiction)
  • The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

If you'd like to participate, or have participated in this meme, leave a comment with the link and I'll include it in mine. It's interesting to see the different answers eveyone has. What books have stayed with you?

    I don't know how you managed to keep your list to 15 books, but you did a great job! I've read 7 of the 15.

    I've only read about 4 off of your list also...still working on The Bible though. I remember your review of In Cold Blood and I actually just picked that one up at the Goodwill yesterday.

    You've got some really good ones there Lisa. I've read about 7 of them. To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my absolute favorites. I may have to reread it one day soon.

    I read In Cold Blood when I was alone babysitting (a million years ago) and I still remember how scared I got, and what a deep impact it made on me! I'm still scared from it, in fact!!!
