Good list! You’ve got several there that I almost included on my list, too. Especially “Mockingbird” and “Handmaid’s Tale” – certainly memorable. It was really hard to stick to just fifteen books.

Nice list. I should have thought of Margaret Atwood and The Kite Runner, but fifteen books just wasn’t enough.

It is neat to see a lot of the same books appear as well as getting ideas for future reads.

Great list! I should have played along today, but I stuck with my tea post instead.

I agree that 15 books wasn’t enough. There were so many more that I thought of after I reached the 15 book limit.
I included To Kill a Mockingbird and would have included The Handmaid’s Tale if the list could have been longer. I’d forgotten all about The Screwtape Letters as well. Thanks for the reminder

The Handmaid’s Tale would have made my list, too. Great list!

Lots of books here that are on my TBR list!

We have three common and others I have read. I forgot Steinbeck! I can’t believe it..
Stuck forever and ever!

Great list! The only book I have read is The Kite Runner. I have heard great things about The Help and look forward to reading it.

Excellent list! I wish I would have thought of The Little Prince. I thought about East of Eden and Tears of the Desert, too. They would have been on my list, too, if only my list were allowed to be a little longer…

I had The Giver and The Handmaid’s Tale as well. Love those dystopians!

You’ve got a lot of new ones for me! Here’s mine.

I’m happy to see Kafka on a reader’s list. Woohoo! I love your list, with all the memorable titles from school, like To Kill a Mockingbird, Grapes of Wrath, and Metapmorphosis.
The help is on my radar.
My full list.

I totally agree with To Kill a Mockingbird and Tears of the Desert. I haven’t read any of the rest.

I’ve seen The Handmaids Tale twice now – going to have to get that one!

Excellent list! I can’t believe I forgot The Handmaid’s Tale on mine (guess that’s what happens when we’re allowed only 15 minutes!)

I can’t believe I left To Kill a Mockingbird off my list!

Handmaids Tale is on my to read list. Looks like I need to move it up the line. Great list!

The Little Prince made mine, and it’s the only one I’ve read from your list, actually! To Kill a Mockingbird is being bumped up the TBR list; I’ve seen it on far too many people’s sticky lists to ignore it any longer.
Erm, I’d love for my comment to link to my sticky list underneath like everyone else’s, but apparently I’m broken.

Love To Kill a Mockingbird. Have The Help on my tbr pile and will have to add The Kite Runner since I have seen it on several lists. Good list, looks like more to add to my tbr pile.

Great list! I have a couple of those books on my wish list. I have a copi of The Little Prince, but I haven’t read it yet. I got it as a gift when I was a young girl, from an American friend of the family, I believe he has written on the inside cover “The most magical book I ever read”. I have to read it one day, but I cannot remember where I put it after we moved, probably still in a box.

I’m so excited to see that you picked “The Killer Angels,” too! You’ve got a great mix of books on your list.
