15 minutes of books

From preraphaelite:

"Take no more than 15 minutes to produce a list of 15 books that have influenced you in style, ideas, relationships, language, or other ways that you find important, and/or books that have really stayed with you -- you keep thinking of that quote, you are always remembering that character, you are frequently reminded of that moment.... that kind of thing. This is not a favorites list."

I don't read many books, and almost no classics, so most of you won't have read or even heard about these, but they're the ones that frame my life and I commend them to you:

7) My Sergei: A Love Story by Ekaterina Gordeeva and E.M. Swift
