Okay, I know this is deviantArt but I thought, since I'm mostly a writer, that this might be interesting, so....

This can be a quick one. 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. Tag 15 friends, including me because I'm interested in seeing what books my friends choose...

1. The Lord of the Rings (& The Hobbit) - J.R.R. Tolkien
2. The Stand - Stephen King (I could list MANY of his, he was one of my first adult authors)
3. Romeo & Juliet - William Shakespeare
4. The Tell-Tale Heart & The Cask of Amantillado - Edgar Allen Poe (along with a few others)
5. Harry Potter - J.K. Rowling (I could list them separately, but I'll save the space)
6. Twilight (et al) - Stephenie Meyer
7. The Vampire Chronicles - Anne Rice
8. Cider House Rules - John Irving
9. The Dragonriders of Pern series - Anne McCaffrey
10. 1984 - George Orwell
11. Watchers - Dean Koontz
12. The Chesapeake Series - Nora Roberts
13. The DaVinci Code - Dan Brown
14. The Chronicles of Narnia - C.S. Lewis
15. Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen

Honestly, most of those authors I've read quite a bit more than this, but I had more trouble narrowing it down than coming up with specific titles. Most of King's books have stuck with me over the years, and I could have added at least three more Shakespeare plays to that list. As it was, I included a number of series because after reading through the entire series, the characters and storyline flowed so well, it's kind of hard to separate one book from the next.

I guess, in the end, it's more that most of those authors will tend to stick with me more than the books specifically...
