What books mean the most to you?

Thanks go to my friend Lois for telling me about this question that’s going around on Facebook. Name 15 books that will always stick with you. Rules: Don't take too long to think about it - just 15 minutes to list fifteen books you've read that you remember for various reasons. Here’s my quick list. (Yes, I know it’s more than 15, but the list would be even longer if I had more than 15 minutes.)

You Can't Go Home Again - Thomas Wolfe
Moving On - Larry McMurtry
Remains of the Day - Kazuo Ishiguro
Time and Again - Jack Finney
Crossing to Safety - Wallace Stegner
The Shipping News - Annie Proulx
The Transit of Venus - Shirley Hazzard
Many Masters-Many Lives - Brian Weiss, MD
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind - Dr. Joseph Murphy
The Risk Pool - Richard Russo
The Other America - Michael Harrington
Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand
The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck
Loving Frank - Nancy Horan
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn - Betty Smith
Motherless Brooklyn - Jonathan Lethem
