magnetic_pole! I can't resist making a list of books...
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.
1. Geek Love by Katherine Dunn
2. Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner
3. Bleak House by Charles Dickens
4. The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
5. The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin
6. Families We Choose by Kath Weston
7. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
8. Undaunted Courage By Stephen Ambrose
9. Lewis and Clark Among the Indians by James Ronda
10. Somebody Else's Kids by Torey Hayden
11. Mommie Dearest by Christina Crawford
12. Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel
13. The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
14. Lies My Teacher Told Me by James Loewin
15. John Dollar by Marianne Wiggins
16. The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
17. Morality Play by Barry Unsworth
18. Possession by AS Byatt
19. Kindred by Octavia Butler
20. Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
21. In the Woods by Tana French
22. Dune by Frank Herbert (and the rest of the series)
23. Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
24. Jurassic Park by Michael Creighton
25. In the Lake of the Woods by Tim O'Brien
I feel like I've discussed several of these books ad nauseum here at this journal already, but ask away! I can always chatter on some more...;)
