The most memorable book that i read was Dorian Gray. Oh after rereading the list I realized that I did read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintanence in College my first semester. I could not stand that book! Guess I should try to read some of the ones I have never read. Feel free to copy this to your site if you wish.
