Book Meme

As seen on a variety of places on the flist (and it made me think)

List 10 books that have stayed with you. Don't take but a few minutes, and don't think too hard - they don't have to be the 'right' or 'great' works, just ones which have touched you.

1. The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien
2. The Lord of the Rings, by JRR Tolkien
3. Watership Down, by Richard Adams,
4. The Belgariad, by David Eddings
5. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, by CS Lewis
6. Pern Series (specially, Dragonsong and Dragonsinger), by Anne McCaffrey
7. Night Watch by Terry Pratchett
8. Sun Horse, Moon Horse by Rosemary Sutcliffe
9. Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte
10. Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen

(and on a side note, I find it interesting that Tolkien is just about the constant on everyone's lists)

Interesting meme, and a great list. I bet it was hard to limit it to ten! :)
