Great thread - my reading to do list has doubled in the last 10 minutes. In the spirit of staying true to the thread topic, I must lead with...
1. The Amazing Spider-Man, Stan Lee - Quite simply, the books I sat and poured over while other kids watched t.v. and threw Jarts at each other. My 2 book/week habit started here.
2. Johnathon Livingston Seagull, Richard Bach - thrown at me when I was 12 or 13, and he was the James Dean of birds. I decided it was cool that I did my own thing... this also sent me down the road of all of Bach's books that still mean the world to me.
3. The Prophet - Kahlil Gibran
4. A Book of Dreams - Peter Reich, John Lennon's favorite book. I have read it 10 times, easy, and I am still not quite sure what I should be getting from it. It keeps me fascinated like the girl who just wants to be friends.
5. Memnoch the Devil - Anne Rice, I know, I know. But if you were to read 1 Anne Rice this is the one.
