15 books meme
I’m not one for internet memes, but I am one for reading, so I’ll take sniffyjenkins’ lead on this one…
“Not the best 15 books you’ve ever read, or even ones you’d recommend to others. Just 15 books that have made their mark on you and will always stick with you, for whatever reason. Supposed to be done in 15 minutes.”
Margaret Mitchell - Gone With The Wind
Christopher Pike - Sati
Yann Martel - Life Of Pi
Kurt Vonnegut - Slapstick
John Updike - Rabbit Run (In fact, all the Rabbit books, but I don’t want to use up five of my choices…)
Ali Smith - The Accidental
Will Self - The Book Of Dave
Truman Capote - In Cold Blood
Cormac McCarthy - The Road
Ken Kesey- One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest
Douglas Coupland - Generation X
Andrey Kurkov - Death And The Penguin
Adam Marek - Instruction Manual For Swallowing
Kevin Brockmeier - The Brief History Of The Dead
Paul Auster - The Book Of Illusions
Most of these are books that I read a wee while ago now, apart from Generation X and The Road. They’ve largely been chosen because I still find myself bringing them up in conversations regularly.
