15 Books

'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. Copy the instructions into your own note, and be sure to tag the person who tagged you.'

These books are roughly in the order that I recall first reading them -

Coral Island - R M Ballantyne
Oliver Twist - Charles Dickins
Lord of the Flies - William Golding
Christ Recrucified - Nikos Kazantzakis
The Leopard - Giuseppe di Lampedusa
Nausea - Jean-Paul Sartre
1984 - George Orwell
Homage to Catalonia - George Orwell
The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists - Robert Tressell
Such is Life - Tom Collins
All Quiet on the Western Front - Erich Maria Remarque
The Master and Margarita - Mikhail Bulgakov
Brideshead Revisited - Evelyn Waugh
The Berlin Stories - Christopher Isherwood
Saturday - Ian McEwan
