I was tagged to list my top-ten most life-altering or influential books by Hilary Hill. Although I am a librarian and have read literally hundreds of books, my list may not make sense to some. I was influenced by Nancy Drew as a teenager. She was an independent young woman who was raised in a single-parent household. She was brave and adventurous and was loyal to her friends. She always fought for the underdog. Those were great lessons for a girl from a single-parent household. And, the Walter Farley, Black Stallion books allowed me to close my eyes and imagine galloping on the back of a wonderful black stallion. My brother, George, turned me on to The Chronicles of Narnia and Tolkiens Trilogy as well as Crichtons science fiction works. So, here is my list: The Bible The Jungle by Upton Sinclair Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien In Cold Blood by Truman Capote Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café by Fanny Flagg The Help by Kathryn Stockett Green Eggs and Ham by The Art of Dr. Seuss
