10 Books

Per the common Facebook note and the typical instructions: Ten books you've read that will always stick with you. First 10 you can recall in no more than 10 minutes. Don't take too long to think about it. Here are mine (in no particular order):

1. The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats
2. Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche
3. The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad 
4. The Divine Comedy (Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso) by Dante Alighieri
5. Time and the Art of Living by Robert Grudin
6. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson
7. Animal Farm by George Orwell
8. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
9. Memories, Dreams and Reflections by Carl Jung
10. Candide by Voltaire

It strikes me that there are no female authors on here (hmmm ...), but for an 11th, I'd probably add Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. For the record, I'm also hard-pressed to not include Life Is Elsewhere by Milan Kundera; The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kozinski; and The Moon and Sixpence by W. Somerset Maugham. I resist opening the Shakespeare can of worms.
