WEll, this was a challenging exercise! In fact, I have moved what I was writing over to my Word to work on it. It was turning into an essay instead of a list of books. It is really hard to change lives with a book, though I think books can affect us deeply by helping us think more clearly, or by inspiring us, or by offering new perspectives. But most people seem to list books they just liked a lot when you ask that question. So I want to really think about my choices. I think they are completely different from the intellectual choices you have made. I;m not sure that what changes lives for one means beans to another. For instance, Camus and Sartre didn't do a thing for me. And at 16, most of the books on your list would have been way out of my league unless I had a great teacher standing over me. But anyway-- I started writing and writing and finally thought good grief. I need to regroup and think about this. I love it. Thanks! And Happy, Happy Mom's Day.
