Another book rote

[learnedax]

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."

1. The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkein


2. Lord of Light - Roger Zelazny


3. The Guns of August - Barbara Tuchman


4. Cyrano de Bergerac - Edmond Rostand


5. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man - James Joyce


6. The Warrior's Apprentice - Lois McMaster Bujold


7. The Once and Future King - T.H. White


8. Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency - Douglas Adams


9. The Caves of Steel - Isaac Asimov


10. The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress - Robert Heinlein


11. A Wizard of Earthsea - Ursula Le Guin


12. The Phantom Tollbooth - Norton Juster


13. Guards! Guards! - Terry Pratchett


14. Slaughterhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegut


15. How Much for Just the Planet? - John M. Ford

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.
