15 is an awfully small number, but here's them wot came to mind first

Not the best 15 books you’ve ever read, or even ones you’d recommend to others. Just 15 books that have made their mark on you and will always stick with you, for whatever reason. Supposed to be done in 15 minutes. Mine, in no particular order:

  1. Encycopedia Brown (Series) by Donald J. Sobol
  2. Alfred Hitchcock Presents: The Three Investigators (Series) by Robert Arthur, Jr
  3. The Stand by Stephen King
  4. Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert H. Heinlein
  5. Still Life With Woodpecker by Tom Robbins
  6. Discworld (Series) by Terry Pratchett
  7. Satan: His Psychotherapy and Cure by the Unfortunate Dr. Kassler, J.S.P.S. by Jeremy Leven
  8. Hocus Pocus by Kurt Vonnegut
  9. His Dark Materials (Series) by Philip Pullman
  10. The Dark Tower (Series) by Stephen King
  11. Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hoffstadter
  12. The User Illusion: Cutting Consciousness Down to Size by Tor Norretranders
  13. Jaws by Peter Benchley
  14. Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
