This is a meme making the rounds over on Facebook and I thought it was interesting to think about. These are the books that I've tended to keep in my head the most over the years. Certain things stick out to me, like the orphans in Flight of the Doves having to think about how to get dinner on the run every night.
"Brave New World" - Aldous Huxley "Flight of the Doves" - Walter Macken "Island of the Blue Dolphins" - Scott O'Dell "The Keep" - F. Paul Wilson "The Masters of Bow Street" - John Creasey "A Separate Peace" - John Knowles "Grendel" - John Gardner "The Canterbury Tales" - Geoffrey Chaucer "The Mists of Avalon" - Marion Zimmer Bradley "Clan of the Cave Bear" - Jean Auel "The Russians" - Hedrick Smith "The Eight" - Katherine Neville "Women Who Run With the Wolves" - Clarissa Pinkola Estes "The Satyricon" - Petronius "Ivanhoe" - Sir Walter Scott
What books have you read over your life that have stayed with you, moved you the most? They don't need to be the most popular or the most well-written. They can be for all age groups. What has stayed with you the most?
