re: Name Your Top 10 Most Influential Books

1. Pierre the boy who didn't care. First book I can remember reading. Like preschool.

2. Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell. Bc it's the first book of my favorite series and by my favorite author, and led me to read more of his books.

3. The Little Prince. I just have always liked it.

4. Grendel. By John Gardner. One of my favorites. Deep, I know.

5. Fox in Socks by Dr Suess. Was my favorite book to read to my daughter.

6. Kama Sutra. Used to sneak peaks of this at the bookstore as a kid. Not sure that I learned much, but I sure appreciated the helpful photos.

7. Sphere. Was my favorite book for a long time.

8. Queen of Swords by Judith Tarr. First historical fiction I recall reading. Got me interested in the crusader period which eventually evolved into a lifelong passion for history in general.

8 is enough
