I couldn’t help it, it just popped into my head. I know it’s a stupid title.

The “15 Books” meme is propagating its way around the intertubes. Spawned by Facebook, it has reached its insidious tentacles out across the blogosphere. People like to tag the biggest and best bloggers for these things, so it’s only appropriate that I be requested to add my contribution to the memeosphere (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little).

In order to placate the teeming hordes begging me to participate (2 people make a horde, right?), here it is, my annotated list of the top 15 books of all time. Actually, it’s just the first 15 books that popped into my head. Much easier. And as an assertion of my laziness, I’m not going to provide authors or links for any of them. Ha! Take that!
