Book talk meme

Following perverse_idyll and notearchiver, a book meme, with a quick twist of my own.

1. Spend no more than ten minutes writing down the names of books that have been especially significant to you in some way. (Entries other than literary fiction welcome! You might think of your own criteria: books you'd bring to a desert island? Books that you associate with turning points or periods in your life? The most worn items on your bookshelf? Anything between two covers counts.)

Don't think, just brainstorm! Ten minutes only.

2. Type up this list with numbers. At this point, you can reorder the list (if you want), add authors' names, edit, etc.

3. Readers are invited ask about a particular number.

( My ten-minute list, left in brainstorming order )

This meme is brought to you courtesy of a nasty cold that's kept me in bed today for the second time in two weeks. Silver linings....
