Not a rejection. On facebook I was tagged to name 15 books that would always stick with me in fifteenminutes. Interesting exercise and of course you miss out so many. But here's what I put down:

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. Tag 15 friends, including me because I'm interested in seeing what books my friends choose. 

James Joyce - Ulysses

Beckett - the Trilogy

Nabokov - Lolita

Henry Green - Living

Henry Green - Concluding

Raymond Carver - What We Talk About When We talk About Love

Richard Ford - Rock Springs

Babel - Red Cavalry

Doris Lessing - To Room Nineteen

Grace Paley - Enormous Changes at the Last Minute

Alice Munro - Lives of Girls and Women

Otto Pavel - How I Came to Know Fish

Chekov - Lady with the Lapdog

Diane Williams - Excitability

Uwem Akpan - Say You're One of Them.

10 books of stories of course. The last two are current faves and not sure they'll stand the test of time.
