Book Meme from just about everyone...

Don't take too long to think about it. List 15 books you've read that will always stick with you -- The first 15 you can recall in 15 minutes.

Reading books is at the very heart of my youth as my list seems to show quite plainly.

She's alive!

Did you ever read the sequel to Gone With The Wind? I did because my former boss (the good one) said that we should so we read her copy. Let's just say I feel about it about they way you do about Twilight. It was okay until they had her involved with the Sinn Fein.

Wasn't that an awful book. I knew it was going to be bad but I couldn't resist. Almost ruined Gone With the Wind for me.

It was awful! I kept reading, hoping it would get better, but it didn't. We were supposed to be passing it around the office between those of us that liked to read, but I told the others not to waste their time. I couldn't recommend that one to anyone.

Oh God. Flashbacks to summer reading that I always procrastinated on until 2 days before school started.

Do love "Where the Red Fern Grows"

I loved most of those books. errrrm...we definitely are on the same page about Twilight. I could also have written down Different Seasons and To Kill a Mockingbird because I loved them and have re-read each at least 3 times but for some reason they didn't pop into my head.

I think Stephen King's short stories and novellas are so much better than his novels. I read somewhere that he prefers them but they aren't as commercially successful so his publisher only allows him to do them every few novels or so.

I was so surprised at how true Stand by Me was to The Body. Even Corey Feldman was bearable.;)

He has had some great short stories/novellas - and not only that, they transferred much better to movies than any of his novels did.

Of his novels, I also really liked Eye of the Dragon. It was totally different than anything else he'd written. I really need to see if there are sequels, because I think there may be.
