"This can be a quick one. 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."

This is not always a recommendation:

The King James Bible
Guns, Germs & Steel by Jared Diamond
The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien
Minoans: Life in Bronze Age Crete by Rodney Castleden
The Mask of Apollo by Mary Renault
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlen

The Wedded Wife (http://www.amazon.com/Wedded-Wife-Lesbian-Life-Transformation/dp/0895947668/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240847058&sr=8-1) one? Like, how I came to read it, etc.?

I've probably told you that I was the minister's wife in a fundamentalist religion in a tiny village. I was convinced I had never met a lesbian, and here I was realizing I was one. Anyway, I didn't read it until I had come out and left him and the religion, but it was so liberating to read these stories of ordinary married women who came out and were ordinary lesbians living fabulously ordinary lives.
