BTT: Sticky

Over at Booking Through Thursday, Laura posted this week's prompt: “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.”

Well, well. This isn't going to be easy, because I tend to forget details shortly after I finish the last page of a book. I'll remember whether I liked it or not and I may remember the basic theme or plot, but I'm not going to be able to give a detailed summary even a day or two after I've finished reading the book. I'm sure that even after I list fifteen books, there are going to be many others that are more deserving to be tagged as “unforgettable”.

1. A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller, Jr.
2. Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein
3. The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin
4. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
5. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
6. A Severed Wasp by Madeleine L'Engle
7. The No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith
8. Full of Grace by Dorothea Benton Frank
9. The Harrad Experiment by Robert H. Rimmer
10. Little Women by Louisa Mae Alcott

12. Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder
13. Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

Whew! Did it. And, that's it until next week's Booking Through Thursday.
