Books That Touched Me Meme

Picked this up in a rare quiet moment, so here are mine :)

1. Twelve Modern Scottish Poets - ed. Charles Kind
2. The Bird Path - Kenneth White
3. On the Road - Jack Kerouac
4. Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien
5. The Owl Service - Alan Garner
6. My adventures during the late War, a narrative of shipwreck, captivity, escapes from French prisons, from 1804 to 1827 - Donat Henchy O'Brien
7. Mille Plateaux - Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari
8. The Butterfly Ball - Alan Aldridge
9. The Master and Margarita - Mikhail Bulgakov
10. The Earth Sea series - Ursula Le Guin

A slightly odd selection! It's so hard to choose without giving it too much thought. I should add that I can't claim to have read all of Mille Plateaux, but the parts I did read made a huge impression on me for a while.

I'm sure it would be hard even with much thinking! Actually, the more musing on such lists, the harder to decide, isn't so? *g*

I have read only three, but #4 was quite important once for me too. :)
