10 books which have affected you... Its another of those FB thingies, but I think more interesting than most, so since Liza Hollinghurst nominated me, I am in. Some of my all-time faves are in here, many are not - but those listed have affected me and my mindset, starting with the Shakespeare-for-infants one! Tales From Shakespeare - Charles & Mary Lamb; Playpower - Richard Neville; Gormenghast - Mervyn Peake; Ragtime - EL Doctorow; Howards End - EM Forster; Middlemarch - George Eliot; Clockers - Richard Price; A Moment’s Liberty (diaries) - Virginia Woolf; Virginia Woolf (biography) - Hermione Lee; The Corrections - Jonathan Franzen. I nominate Toni-Ann Riley, Ruth Cornish, Humphrey Price, Julie Nelson Rhodes, Hugh Jones, Juno Parreñas, Stephanie Chen Gulla, Philippa Tay, Rebecca Catto and Sally-Anne Huxtable to do likewise :)
