10 Books That Have Stayed With You Meme

This began on Facebook, but I know of no reason why we shouldn't bring it into the blogging world which is where all the really good booktalk happens. (Ok, Goodreads excepted, but that is where I have made many good book talkin' pals.)

I knew this would come my way as soon as I saw Jeff Miller did it. Turns out Will Duquette laid it on me. Turns out the first two books on his list are the first I thought of also. Here goes ...

Rules: list 10 books that have stayed with you. Don't take more than a few minutes; don't think too hard. They don't have to be great works, just the ones that have touched you. Here's mine, in no particular order :

  1. The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien
  2. The Screwtape Letters - C.S. Lewis
  3. The Curse of Chalion - Lois McMaster Bujold
  4. Death Comes as the End - Agatha Christie
  5. The Franchise Affair - Josephine Tey
  6. Little Dorrit - Charles Dickens
  7. Only You Can Save Mankind - Terry Pratchett
  8. While We Still Live - Helen MacInnes
  9. The Hiding Place - Corrie Ten Boom
  10. One Door Away From Heaven - Dean Koontz

I'm supposed to tag 10 people and I did tag a few on Facebook, but I'm just going to leave it up to whoever wants to join in, whether blogging, on Facebook, or just in the comments box here.
