I reread The Doomsday Book every year or two. There aren't many books that have drawn me in so inescapably. I really CARE about the characters. I cry every time I read it. I feel stupid mourning for fictitious people, but I can't NOT mourn for them.

Do the meme! Do the meme! :-D

I totally cheated; I decided on a list of about 20 books and then went hunting around the Internet for good quotes from them. In some cases I knew the quote I wanted, and in others I just picked one that sounded good. And for some (like Brave New World I couldn't find a quote that captured what I loved about the book, so I cut it from the list.
