Memorable Books

Of all the books that a person will read in their lifetime, there are some that just stick with you. Most books that we read we will probably ultimately forget. However, that is not to say that the books that we remember will leave a positive impression on us. While on Facebook a few weeks back I was tagged in a note by my friend and colleague, Amanda, about 15 books that will always stick with you. Here is my list.

1. Kite Runner- Khaled Housseini
2. A Thousand Splendid Suns- Khaled Housseini
3. Blood Done Sign My Name-Timothy Tyson
4. A Perfect Evil- Alex Kava
5. Night-Elie Wiesel
6. The Road- Cormac McCarthy
7. Hater- David Moody
8. Survivor- Chuck Palahniuk
9. Ordinary Men- Christopher Browning
10. Hannibal- Thomas Harris
11. The Historian- Elizabeth Kostova
12. Numbered Account- Christopher Reich
13. The Crisis of Islam- Bernard Lewis
14. The Coming of the Third Reich- Richard Evans
15. The Working Poor- David Shipler

Most of these on the list I really enjoyed, but there is one that I did not like (any guesses?). Here is Amanda's list.
