Can't do the music-related ones quite yet as I have no blank CDs on which to burn things, but here's a quick one, courtesy of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Fifteen books you've read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes.
1. Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury
2. Matilda, by Roald Dahl
3. The Double Helix: A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA, by James D. Watson
4. Catherine, Called Birdy, by Karen Cushman
5. Minimalism, ed. James Meyer
6. But Is It Art? An Introduction to Art Theory, by Cynthia Freeland
7. The Feminine Mystique, by Betty Friedan
8. Pyramids, by Terry Pratchett
9. The Museum at Purgatory, by Nick Bantock
10. Ella Enchanted, by Gail Carson Levine
11. So You Want To Be A Wizard, by Diane Duane
12. Dealing With Dragons, by Patricia C. Wrede
13. Animorphs: Megamorphs #3: Elfangor’s Secret, by K.A. Applegate (shut up, shut up)
14. Consider the Following, by Bill Nye (I said shut up, it’s what made me want to be a scientist so I can count it if I want to. I got it signed by him and everything.)
15. Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley
16. (Because I said so) The Art Book, by Phaidon Press
Why yes, I'm appropriately ashamed that most of these books are either my childhood YA fantasy novels or nonfiction books. I told you I need to read more for pleasure; grown-up books don't stick with me nearly the same way. :(
I really should go to bed. This is becoming a bad habit.

The books I read when I was younger really do stick with me longest, even if they weren't of the literary caliber of the stuff I read later. And so many of them influenced the way I write and think about writing.

I think it still counts if you can only think of 10. I'd like to see what your choices were!
