That light blue history section

owlbeerHave a lot of posts I really mean to make including Star Trek reaction (didn't think it was quite as OMG awesome as most of fandom seems to, but it was still very enjoyable) and a post I keep meaning to make about fandom vs RL things on the internet, but that is feeling a bit past me.
So, instead, a meme that I've seen many places:
Fifteen books you've read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.
The Sapphire Rose - David Eddings
Magician - Raymond E Feist
The Hand of the Goddess - Tamora Pierce
The Guinness Encyclopedia - Ian Crofton (ed)
Cryptonomicon - Neal Stephenson
The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
Hamlet - William Shakespeare (not sure if this counts)
American Gods - Neil Gaiman
Night Watch - Terry Pratchett
The Great War for Civilization - Robert Fisk
The Shock Doctrine - Naomi Klein
Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban by JK Rowling
The Illiad - Homer
.. I will think of something else that should be on this as soon as I post this. It's a really interesting meme though in terms of what books came to me, and what I knew had to be included, like the encyclopedia, because I used to look at that thing all the time when I was a kid, and it will always stick with me, especially the light blue history section.
Now, I'm going to go back and probably finish State of Play, which I finally got my hands on. I kinda want to ship Cal with everyone except the one person canon does *sigh* .Awesome mini-series though, John Simm, Philip Glenister, Kelly MacDonald, James McAvoy, Bill Nighy and all about politics and the media ... there is no bad there.
Also, have located S1 Slings and Arrows. So, Paul Gross, huh? He's quite awesome. ;)
And I have reached the time where I seem to need a portable hard drive. Sigh. Oh laptop, a year and half, you haven't done too badly.
