More memey things

[amberdreams]

Stolen from downjune because I can't resist anything to do with books.  Even though I haven't read anything but fanfic for about a year!!!

Take 10 minutes to make a list of books that have been important to you at some time in your life. Don't stop to think, justify, add authors, or make notes. When 10 minutes are up, you can reorder the list and add additional information. Readers can ask questions about the books on the list.

I haven't reordered these, just made sure I've got the right titles and authors matched up, so these are the order I remembered them in:

Lord of the Rings - J R R Tolkien

The Road to Sardis – Stephanie Plowman

The Road to Miklagard trilogy - Henry Treece

The Sword at Sunset - Rosemary Sutcliffe

Ah - Where the Wild Things Are was never one I got into - I think it came too late for me...

Paddington used to have me in fits of giggles, I remember reading over meals and nearly choking myself laughing...
