Oh, geez. Thanks a bunch, Brannon. Some meme-osity, courtesy of Brannon Boren. List 10 books that have stayed with you in some way. Rules (there are always rules): Dont take more than a few minutes and do not think too hard. They dont have to be the right books or great works of literature, just ones that have affected you in some way. In no particular order: Brian Daleys HAN SOLO books. These are the books that made me realize I wanted to write for a living. THE SMITHSONIAN BOOK OF COMIC BOOK COMICS and/or MYSTERIES IN SPACE. Impact discussed at length elsewhere. (Like here: erictrautmann.us/2010/01/13/mapping-the-genome/) DEATHBIRD STORIES by Harlan Ellison. THE COMPLETE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES by A. Conan Doyle. THE SCREAM by John Skipp and Craig Spector. Ambitious work, full of passion and anger and it completely grabbed 14-year old me by the collar and it shook me til I paid attention. Flawed work, but I adored it. THE STAND by Stephen King. L.A. CONFIDENTIAL by James Ellroy. See also: MY DARK PLACES. THE HITCHHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY by Douglas Adams. STAR MANS SON by André Norton / Tie: HUNTERS OF THE RED MOON by Marion Zimmer Bradley. THE MALTESE FALCON by Dashiell Hammett. Not tagging anyone because tagging is for people who actively seek a punch in the junk.
