jazzfishOK, here are the rules: 15 Books
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.
Bleh to Facebook and bleh to tagging people, but yay to books.
The standard five:
Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth
Steven Brust, Agyar
Raphael Carter, The Fortunate Fall
Andy Runton, Owly: The Way Home and The Bittersweet Summer
John M. Ford, Heat of Fusion and Other Stories
And ten more:
Beatrix Potter, The Tailor of Gloucester
Ursula K. Le Guin, Tao Te Ching
Roger Zelazny, Jack of Shadows
Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers
Isaac Asimov, Foundation trilogy (hey, I read them all in one volume, it counts)
John M. Ford / Gene Wolfe, Fugue State / The Death of Doctor Island
Erick Wujick, Amber Diceless Role-Playing
Zilpha Keatley Snyder, The Changeling
T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land
I survived Origins, saw a lot of awesome people, and didn't play nearly enough games. More tomorrow.
