Here's an interesting little diversion from the status quo.  List fifteen books you've read that had an impact on you and will always stick with you.  List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.  In my case, the titles came pouring out, and more and more after the first fifteen were written down... Please, be fair to yourself, and don't look at my list yet or the comments and other's people's lists until you've posted your own.  Then mush forth and see what you overlooked.
