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 do not have to be the ‘right’ books or great works of literature, just the ones that have affected you in some way. Go, bookworms!

1. Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce
2. The Prophecy of the Stones by Flavia Bujor
3. A Coal Miner's Bride: The Diary of Anetka Kaminska by Susan Campbell Bartoletti
4. Take a Bow by Elizabeth Eulberg
5. East Edith Pattou
6. Cardcaptor Sakura
7. Magic Knights Rayearth
8. Dream-Maker's Magic by Sharon Shinn
9. Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
10. The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien

Maybe I should make this a list of 20. . . cause I wish I could add more. Idk, what do you guys think? X3

I've only read Prophecy of the Stones off of your list. I read it when I was about 10 years ago when I was a kid. To be honest I can't remember much of it, just that it wasn't bad but it never was one of my favourites.

1.The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
2.The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers
3.Nightwatch by Terry Pratchett
4.Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J. K. Rowling (all of them really)
5.The Secret History by Donna Tartt
6.The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien
7.Secrets by Jacqueline Wilson
8.High Rhulain by Brian Jacques
9.Sudenmarja by Reidar Palmgren (hasn't been translated to any other language)
10.Häräntappoase by Anna-Leena Härkönen (no translations either)

1. Killer Angels by Michael Shaara
2. The Eagle has Landed by Jack Higgins
3. Band of Brothers by Stephen Ambrose
4. Harry Potter series by J K Rowling (Only books I have ever read twice.)
5. Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy
6. The Art of War by Sun Tzu
7. 1776 by David McCullough
8. Mission Earth (Dekology) by L Ron Hubbard
9. The Courage of Conviction; The Story of William Turner by Larry Cadran
10. Team Yankee by Harold Coyle

I prefer to read Military History or Historical Fictions based on military events. I've been reading books and articles on this subject for 40 years. My list also could be much more extensive.

Going to try to challenge myself and keep Harry Potter out of this list, because it's such an obvious choice and it really meant a lot to me - but ugh, so did so many other books, and they deserve some recognition too, dammit!

1. The Fade - by Chris Wooding. An evil, evil book that took me six or eight months to get over. Ugh, it still hurts.
2. The Tales of the Ketty Jay - by Chris Wooding. What can I say? The man is a miracle worker. Four books in this awesome pirate series.
3. Catch-22 - by Joseph Heller. A ridiculously funny, but increasingly depressing, book about some poor dudes stranded in Italy during WW2. Shout-out to @TheRottenLeprechaun for getting me into this one!
4. Fahrenheit 451 - by Ray Bradbury. Honestly one of the scarier books I've read. I just... I can't deal with it.
5. Le Petit Prince - by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. A beautiful, very touching and philosophical story.
6. Skammerens datter - by Lene Kaaberbøl. "The Shamer's Daughter." The first fantasy series I really fell in love with, before Harry Potter took hold of me. It's about this girl and her mother who can tell what people are ashamed of when they look into people's eyes, and they are being hunted as witches for it.
7. Our Tragic Universe - by Scarlett Thomas. I never found out what the plot was. To be honest, I don't really think there is one. It's a very organic, sort of impressionist book.
8. Metro 2033 - by Dmitrij Cluchovskij. Another evil, evil book. If you like depressing dystopian fiction, this is what you want!
9. Analfabeten som kunde räkna - by Jonas Jonasson. "The Illiterate Who Knew How To Count." A ridiculous, really freakin' funny book about this African woman who somehow... Y'know, just read it. It's hilarious.
10. The Song of Achilles - by Madeline Miller. A beautiful retelling of The Iliad.

1. Harry Potter series
2. Lord of the Rings series

4. Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix (i just plain adore these books, great premise imo and awesome story)
