DuWayne Brayton has tagged me with the book meme. I didn't follow the rules precisely. There are probably more than 15 books below, and I took something like 20odd minutes to write and hyperlink all this together. The books that follow are in no particular order of favor. I don't necessarily agree with the viewpoints espoused in all of these books, but they nonetheless seem to be persistent sticks in the mud of my mind.

Anything Twain, Ender's Game, anything Dr Seuss, and The Watchmen definitely should have been on my own list. It's harder than it seems, hitting your legitimate high points and doing the whole thing in 15 mins, isn't it?
Incidentally, Stephanie already posted hers.
I shall do it later on this evening. At the moment I am trying to get my heartbeat back to normal after seeing Toaster's undressed shoulders *swoons*.

Done!
Ender's Game? James and the Giant Peach? Shit, I leave everything out, don't I.
Fuck the rules!!!11!1!1!!
Though I would have recommended making the damned list and then going back to fill in hyperlinks and detail...
I have to say that I believe your list is the most intriguing thus far...Not sure why, so don't ask - but I definitely find your list particularly interesting.
