Attention fellow Biliophiles

This one's going around facebook lately, and I thought it might be fun to do here too

The idea: Share 10 books that stayed with you in some way - in no particular order.

Here are mine:

- The Ocean at the End of the Lane
- Welcome to the Monkey House (All of them, but most specifically: Long Walk to Forever, Epicac, and Welcome to the Monkey House)
- The Giving Tree
- Outlander
- A Prayer For Owen Meany
- Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone
- The Hunger Games
- Fahrenheit 451
- The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
- Bridge to Terabithia

Your turn!
