“This can be a quick one. 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.”

Head over to Booking Through Thursday to read other bloggers’ answers.
I really like your list. Guernica and Fieldwork are already on my TBR list. I read Witch of Blackbird Pond, Anne of Green Gables, and Little Women as a teen and enjoyed them. Now I need to find out about the rest of the books on your list.

Sandra – I’ll definitely check your list out.
It’s fun to visit everyone’s blogs and read their lists. We share a couple books on our lists.
My brother loves Uris! Somehow I couldn’t read his books when I was a teenager and never tried again. Now I think I ought to. I simply need to pick copies from my brother.
Stuck forever and ever!
Great list!
I have to get on to reading Kristin Lavransdatter. I couple of bloggers have mentioned this book and I’m ashamed to say that I’m a Norwegian who haven’t read this trilogy.

Hummm. My list might include only two of yours. And you list some books I haven’t read . . . yet. I’d better increase my reading time!

Booklogged – every list is so individual – it’s fun!
Gautami – yes, you should give Uris a try. Trinity is my favorite, with Exodus a close second.
Ladybug – yes, you should definitely read Kristin L. – it’s wonderful!
Beth- I know what you mean – never enough time for all the wonderful books out there.
You’ve reminded me of several books I really want to read. LOL
