fannishlissmeme: "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."

Re: I love this meme, it is instant smart!Dean tiemz!
Date: 2009-04-28 02:33 am (UTC)Plus I just loved how all the girls in her books found beautiful long haired men. sigh.
The Ozma book was just rife with amazing details that have stuck with me forever. It was a huge favorite of mine.
My offspring just read Wrinkle in time and Wind at the Door, but says he can't get into a Swiftly Tilting Planet. I'm all like WHAT!!! but he's not even 9 yet. :P
Which of our books is smart!Dean most likely to have read? On my list I think he's probably read
Frankenstein, Watership Down, and The Hitchhiker's Guide. Then possibly also A Wrinkle in Time (because paperbacks of that are always lying about); My Side of the Mountain (my secret dream life, and one Dean would also have enjoyed dreaming); and the secret book he'll never admit he loved is Persuasion, because it's all about how love vs. duty ties you in knots!! :)
I wonder if Dean has read American Gods?!?!
young severus is reading frankenstein and committing long portions to memory
