Rules: 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.

1. Anne of Green Gables series - Lucy Maud Montgomery
2. Little House on the Prairie series - Laura Ingalls Wilder
3. Trixie Belden series - Julie Campbell Tatham
4. The Cat Who series - Lillian Jackson Braun

(I read these series over and over and over as a kid - they must inevitably have fused with my psyche somehow, thus their inclusion)

5. The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
6. The Woman Warrior - Maxine Hong Kingston
7. Dear Mr. Henshaw - Beverly Cleary
8. Are You There God, It's Me Margaret - Judy Blume
9. The Bluest Eye - Toni Morrison
10. Rubyfruit Jungle - Rita Mae Brown
11. Dreaming in Cuban - Cristina Garcia
12. Harry Potter series - J.K. Rowling
13. The House on Mango Street - Sandra Cisneros
14. Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza - Gloria Anzaldua
15. Loving in the War Years: Lo que nunca pasó por sus labios - Cherrie Moraga

Noticing that these are all female authors, with the exception of Oscar Wilde, who was pretty effeminate, so go figure...
