It was doomed to happen...some evil malicious person challenged me to list my 10 most influential books...Unlike other folks, Im doing this directly off the cuff, without whittling longer lists. Little Women - I was named for one of the characters Leaves of Grass - Walt Whitman The Prophet - Khalil Gibran The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho (but I also love Warrior of the Light by the same author) Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zaphon (anything that mentions the cemetery of forgotten books gets a mention) Woman on the Edge of Time - Marge Piercey The Griffin and Sabine series - incurable romanticism A Long Way Gone - Ishmael Beah Old Possums Book of Practical Cats - T. S. Elliot (my kids were hypnotized by this book at bedtime when they were small) In reality, I love them all, and theyve all changed me in myriad ways, large and small. I left out the Hornblower series, but they get an honorable mention. If any of you need a lend, let me know.
