Please comment below and tell us fifteen books you’ve read that will always stick with you. Do the first fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. Don’t take too long to think about it. It should be no surprise that most of mine are classic books for kids. We are interested in seeing what books our friends choose. (These are not necessarily favorites, but ones that stick with me). This list is in no particular order.
