Here are the rules: Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you’ve read that will always stick with you. They don’t have to be the greatest books you’ve ever read, just the ones that stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.

clearly there were two significant literary periods in my life that will forever stick with me: the depressed, awkward, creepy junior high phase (in cold blood, helter skelter, the shining, marilyn manson); and the depressed, awkward, sleeping-with-losers-in-college chick lit phase.

that’s just what sticks with me.

hey a lot of yours that i don’t have are ones that i would have put on mine too if i had enough room. for some reason valley of the dolls always sticks with me. i love flannery o’connor.  all francesca will stay with me. and omg she’s come undone. that would have definitely been on mine too! shit i’ll never forget that book.

ah, shit girl! i feel like no one’s ever read she’s come undone and that book wrecked me growing up. i think about it all the time and make references no one gets. valley of the dolls is just my personal hell. i don’t understand what’s so wrong with the premise of it, but i judy garland-out at least 5 times a week. i knew you’d get the francesca—i saw it on my shelf and was like, “aw yeah, lily’s gonna feel me on this one.”

as for your list, i considered franny and zooey but i didn’t want to double dip on salinger. your list is so classy, my list is so trashy. it’s like referencing bad movies when everyone else is talking about citizen kane.

man, now i really want to go to green apple books next month.
