The infamous "they" suggest this diversion: "List 15 books you've read that will always stick with you: list the first 15 you can recall in 15 minutes. Don't take too long to think about it."
I found it diverting. My list contains some works that are not lifechanging high literature, but are truly memorable to me, so I think that's fair.
- The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkein
- Lord of Light - Roger Zelazny
- The Guns of August - Barbara Tuchman
- Cyrano de Bergerac - Edmond Rostand
- A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man - James Joyce
- The Warrior's Apprentice - Lois McMaster Bujold
- The Once and Future King - T.H. White
- Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency - Douglas Adams
- The Caves of Steel - Isaac Asimov
- The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress - Robert Heinlein
- A Wizard of Earthsea - Ursula Le Guin
- The Phantom Tollbooth - Norton Juster
- Guards! Guards! - Terry Pratchett
- Slaughterhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegut
- How Much for Just the Planet? - John M. Ford
