...sorry I did not make it to a top 15-list...but try this one:
Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates....it is the most eye opening books I have read about what it means to be a woman! I loved it!

Well said Lady in Red . . . I was thinking the same thing!

My favourites are (in no particular order)

All the The 3 Bronte sisters' works
Thomas Hardy's works
Elizabeth Gaskell - Wives and Daughters
Gustav Flaubert - Madame Bovary
Margaret Drabble - The Millstone

I also like fantasy types:

JRR Tolkein
Stephen Donaldson : The Aventures of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever
Ted Hughes - The Iron Man - great imagery and very poetical

And it is in the Turkish literature thread because...?
