Shelf Of Fame

Although I enjoy reading almost every book I finish (I would have abandoned it long before the end if I didn't), most of their stories simply fade away over time until I can barely remember what happened in them! There are some books, however, in which this is not the case and for whatever reason I don't forget what happens in them. It is these books that resonate in my mind long after the others have faded away (and often influence my own writing), and manage to secure a place on my elite 'Shelf of Fame'.
