Books that will stick with me ... I am sure I'll forget all the important ones if I do this in freewriting mode, but here goes:

1. Bitten (Kelley Armstrong)
2. Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad, A Hat full of Sky (witch-books from Terry Pratchett)
3. A Kiss of Shadows (Hamilton)
3. Ronja Räubertochter (Lindgren)
4. Kalle Blomquist (Lindgren)
5. Mio my Mio (Lindgren)
6. Brothers Lionheart (Lindgren)
7. The Neverending Story (Michael Ende)
8. 2XS (Findley)
9. Breathing Lessons (Tyler)
10. Thoreau's Journals (collected excerpts, wild browsing)
11. Rich in Love (Humphreys)
12. Men at Arms (Pratchett)
13. Dreams (Kafka; not sure that is the English title- a collection of notes about his dreams)
14. Wilderness Tips (Atwood)
15. Emerson among the Eccentrics (not fiction, but an eye-opener at university)

Some of them are children's books which were read to my brother and me by our parents. Especially my father has a great reading voice, he made the stories come so much alive. We begged him to keep on reading for us even when we long could read ourselves. The last book he read to us was the Neverending Story by Ende, aptly named, hm? We knew it was going to be the last book he read to us and we never wanted it to end.
