Books I have loved

Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you've read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.
  1. The Prophet - Kahlil Gibran
  2. Jonathan Livingston Seagull - Richard Bach
  3. The Telling - Ursula Le Guin
  4. Illusions: the Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah - Richard Bach
  5. The Tao Te Ching - Lao Tsu
  6. The Fifth Sacred Thing - Starhawk
  7. The Deptford Trilogy - Robertson Davies
  8. The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien
  9. Taking Care - David Smail
  10. Poems of Sylvia Plath
  11. Poems of Ursula Fanthorpe
  12. The Wild Girl - Michèle Roberts
  13. The Gnostic Gospels - Elaine Pagels
  14. Puck of Pook's Hill - Rudyard Kipling
  15. The Art of Conversation with the Genius Loci - Barry Patterson
(these are in the order that I recalled them, rather than ranked by amount of influence on me)

If I had thought a bit more about it, I would have added Jung's Memories, Dreams, reflections.
