The weekly Booking Through Thursday question for today is
I saw this over at Shelley’s, and thought it sounded like a great question for all of you:
“This can be a quick one. 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.”
1. The Bible
2. By Searching by Isobel Kuhn
3. In the Arena by Isobel Kuhn
4. Climbing by Rosalind Goforth
5. Amy Carmichael of Dohnavur by Frank Houghton
6. Changed Into His Image by Jim Berg
7. David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
8. A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
9. A Path Through Suffering by Elisabeth Elliot
10. Little House on the Prairie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder
11. Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery
12. Lord of the Rings series by J. R. R. Tolkien
13. Narnia series by C. S. Lewis
14. Rose From Brier by Amy Carmichael
15. Through Gates of Splendor by Elisabeth Elliot
It was hard to stop at 15, and on another day the list would vary a little, but overall these are books that have deeply influenced my thinking and that I go back to time and time again, either rereading or thinking about something I read there.
Feel free to join in and use this as a meme whether you particpate in Booking Through Thursday or not, but if you’d like to see what others listed, check today’s post there.
Stray Thoughts 
Lord of the Rings! Arg. That failed to make my list. Narnia did, however, make the (memory) cut.
Great list!
Happy BTT to you today!
so interesting- we had none of the same books on our lists! that surprised me, as i think we generally have a lot in common. i think we’d have lots of lively discussions;)
Anne of Green Gables and The Little House on the Prairie are getting a lot of love from the bloggers today!
I can’t believe I forgot Anne of Green Gables and Narnia. They both should have been on my list.
You’ve got a few new ones for me. Here’s mine.
The Bible and the Narnia series were on my list as well!

You put together an interesting list.
What a great list. So many I’ve never heard of on there. I think I just might do this sometime next week. It’s interesting to see what books touch people.
