Book Challenge

This came through Facebook a while back, and I thought I'd go this route instead of posting it as a status...

Book Challenge Rules: In your status, list 10 books that have stayed with you in some way. Don't take more than a few minutes and don't think too hard. They don't have to be the "right" books or great works of literature, just ones that have affected you in some way. Tag 10 friends, including me.

I decided on 15 books instead (to use the 5 that my sister didn't use in her response). 

In the order I read them:


  1. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
  2. Short Stories by Mark Twain
  3. The Way They Learn by Cynthia Ulrich Tobias
  4. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
  5. As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
  6. Tell Me a Riddle by Tillie Olsen
  7. The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
  8. Ship of Fools by Katherine Anne Porter
  9. Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich
  10. Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare
  11. Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
  12. Atonement by Ian McEwan
  13. Darkness Visible by William Styron
  14. March by Geraldine Brooks
  15. Love Does by Bob Goff
