From womzilla:

Don't take too long to think about it. List 15 books you've read that will always stick with you -- the first 15 you can recall in 15 minutes.

Okay, let's see...


J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
Richard Adams, Watership Down
Aron Nimzovich, My System
E.E. Smith, the Lensman series
Lois McMaster Bujold, The Warrior's Apprentice
Neil Gaiman, The Sandman
Douglas R. Hofstadter, Metamagical Themas (I listed Gödel, Escher, Bach first, but the essays in MT have had an even bigger impact on how I look at things)
Jo Walton, Farthing
Tim Powers, Last Call

(That's about the 3-minute mark; it's slowing down now)

Steven Brust, Jhereg
Emma Bull, War for the Oaks
Cordwainer Smith, Norstrilia
Euripides, The Bacchae
Susana Clarke, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell
Greg Egan, Axiomatic
