I was tagged in this game by Caz Mumin to name ten books/book series that influenced me or stayed with me in some way. The list is alphabetical order by authors surname. Ive included a couple of non-fiction books, hope thats ok. Of course, if its not - too late!! 1. Janet and John - Anonymous [but see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_and_John] 2. The Foundation Trilogy - Isaac Asimov 3. Persuasion - Jane Austen 4. [Introduction to Linguistics - David Crystal: Cant remember the precise title; this was in 1975!] 5. The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins 6. The People: No Different Flesh - Zenna Henderson 7. The Pern novels - Anne McCaffrey (but not so much the ones byWere home now - her son) 8. The Witch World series - Andre Norton 9. Harry Potter - JK Rowling (read in English, Spanish, French and German) 10. The Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien It was a close fight. Other contenders were: * The Discworld novels - Terry Pratchett * Methuselahs Children/Time Enough For Love - Robert Heinlein * The Dune novels - Frank Herbert * Stranger in a Strange Land - Robert Heinlein * The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series - Douglas Adams * The Valdemar novels - Mercedes Lackey So I now tag Andromada Mystic, Janice Knight, Jan Warner, Louise Chambers, Carlos Furtado, Boyd Livingstone, Rob Neil, Donald Adey to share ten books/book series that have inspired them / influenced them / stayed with them / or just really really liked. :)
