Is it just me, or did the girl from twilight get some tits?

So i saw that Abbey posted something on facebook that actually seemed interesting to me, and instead of posting it on pointless facebook i'll put it up here. It's a really simple thing too, just name the 15 books that you've read so far that you think will stick with you. I'm doing this in a countdown of significance, because i honestly feel like counting up takes away the excitement of it all. Each selection might also include a reason as to why it made the list, but it depends on how i feel. This is extremely hard because i love so many books, but i will do my best.

15. It's technically a series, but the first books i actually remember choosing to read are the "Goosebumps" series books.
14. "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (the complete works) by Douglas Adams is indefinitely hilarious to me, and i can see myself finding something new to like about it each time that i crack it open.
13. "Everything's Eventual" by Stephen King. I first heard this as a book on tape, and Stephen King books (along with "Goosebumps) are actually what i learned to read on. I've only recently gained the paper version of this collection of short stories, and i quickly learned that while i managed to get the gist of the main story lines in that colletion, i missed several existential questions that King raises in those works. This book (though you might as well just include the entire existing works of King), and the "Goosebumps" series make this list due to the fact that these are the first books that i read, and they most definitely influenced my literary preferences for the rest of my life.
12. "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac is a book that often catches flak due to it's fan base. i actually stole this book from an airport because i first heard of Kerouac's in an essay written by Death Cab for Cutie's lead singer. I then read it on the plane as it travelled across the country. While he is heralded as the key voice of the "beat" generation, and this generation is famous mainly because of their free loving, drug using ways, i see him as someone who poignantly writes about human emotion in situations where life seems both infinite and irrelevant. Many American Lit classes ignore his contributions, when actually they are crucial to understanding the evolution of American Liturature into the point it is at today.
11. "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger. One of the most famous, and disputed, books of U.S. lit. Many write it off as a chronical of mere teenage angst, however, i see the main character's emotions as being something systemic of the economic and social conditions that existed, and still exist today, in American society.
10. "The Way of All Flesh" by Samuel Butler. It's an older book where the language was slightly more lengthy and odd, but if one can navigate that it's easy to see Butler's genius. This story is one that progresses from rags to riches, but contains far deeper characters (some that i want to know more about) than most books, and overall is a warming story that makes one feel fullfilled.
9. "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald is an extremely personal book for me that i try to make a point to read at least once a year. It started an odd fascination with discovering books where the narrator despises the character that ignites the story's events.
8. "Acid House" by Irvine Welsh. This is actually the most recent book that i've read, but i can already tell that it will be significant. The stories in this book progress in a way that speaks to the subconcious mind, and overall Welsh is brutally honest about life, god, women, drugs, and life again. One of the stories in it is actually influencing the format of something that i'm writing now.
7. "Tales of Ordinary Madness" by Charles Bukowski. This was the first Buk book i remember seeing, and it's actually rather ironic that it's the only one that i own. The tales in this book range from extremely hilarious to morbidly depressing. Buk manages to cover such a range of emotions in his time bubble that anyone who is not a-historical will appreciate.
6. "Men Without Women" by Ernest Hemmingway. Several short stories by old Ernie, who at times can be a very dry writer, but if you look past the dry dust you can find the rich topsoil underneath. All of these stories have different scenarios and different themes, but they share one common bond that ties them all together: the men in these stories lack women in their lives. Ernie examines this aspect of human life, along with several others, in beautifully woven stories.
5. "Scar Tissue" by Anthony Keidis. The lead singer of one of my favorite bands writes a heart wrenching biography about his own addiction and life experiences. What's not to love?
4."East of Eden" by John Steinbeck. The multiple view points and interpretations of biblical parallels presented in this book demonstrate Steinbeck's storytelling capability. His characters have immense depth, and his social commentary of the time period is refreshing and often overlooked.
3. "Death of a Salesman" by Arthur Miller. I was actually deeply insulted when my sister told me that she thought this book was dry and boring. I think it is one of the most intellectually stimulating works (it's actually a playscript, but i consider it a book) i've read, and i recently discovered that the movie "Step Brothers" staring Will Ferrell is basically the comedy version of "Salesman."
2. "Dream Tigers" by Jorge Luis Borges. This book of prose and poetry speaks to me in ways that few things have. It is one of the most influencial works i have read.
1. "Lisey's Story" by Stephen King. This book is so significant to me for so many personal reasons. Leaving it at that.

Books that didn't make the list for various reasons:
"Hearts in Atlantis" and "Duma Key" by Stephen King. I already had enough King selections for the point to get across.
"The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemmingway didn't make it because, while it is one of the most beautiful things i've ever read, it doesn't cover the breadth and complexity of "Men Without Women"
"The Grapes of Wrath" and "Mice and Men" by Steinbeck. These books are quite simply amazing, but they don't cover the depth of questions, and ineffable writing style that Steinbeck used.
"Running With Scissors" by Augusten Burroughs did not make the list because it is my sister's book. While i did love it so much that i finished it in one sitting, i feel that it is something that has influenced Paige far more than me.
"The Sun Also Rises" failed to make the list because it still sits oddly with me. I love the interactions with the characters, but it is obesely boring.
And the Various works of H.P. Lovecraft. These did not make the list because there is not a single story of H.P.'s that i can point to as an influence; instead they all have influenced me.
There are more that make this list, but i'm tired of trying to put my literary affections in an order.
