Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you've read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. Pass it on like the virus it is.

1. Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit (I consider them one large book) JRRTolkien
2. "Redliners" David Drake A book that sparked some great discussions
3. "Retief" by Kieth Laumer
4. "The Witches of Karres" James Schmitz
5. "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" Don't like the empire, do like the book

Wow, this is HARD. I have authors I've memorized, like Terry Pratchett, Elizabeth McMasters Bujold, Phil Foglio...and books I love to reread...and there are too many.

6. The Bible.
7. The Dictionary No, really, these two will stay with me.
8. "Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell
9. "Sandman" graphic novels by Niel Gaiman etc.
10. "Karate-do: My Life" by Shoto (Ginchin Funakoshi)
11. Having to pick a Terry Pratchett Book: "Darwin's Watch"
12. "Drawing of the Dark" Tim Powers
13. "Halting State" Charles Stross
14. "Tipping Point" Malcolm Gladwell
15. "It's a Lot Like Dancing" Terry Dobson

I went with speed, or I might have added a bunch and violated the 15 book rule.

#3, oh yes
#4, not as much but it is good
#12, yes

I suspect that it is all in where you head is when you respond. Peace, dude!
