Ten Books that Affected You

[Danzig]

lonesome dove is a fabulous book, read it my senior year of high school. just fantastic.
also saw 'pillars of the earth' mentioned above. another i have on my shelf, have read it at least five times. just wonderful. i have the sequel, which is ok, but doesn't come close to the magic of pillars. some books are just perfect, and pillars is one of those.

i've been asked by many people if there was only one book i could have for the rest of my life, what would it be.

i'd have to say 'the pickwick papers' by charles dickens. if you haven't taken the time, read it. it's wonderful. it follows the adventures of four members of the pickwick club, people they meet on the way, stories entertwined throughout, told by various characters they encounter. it's got a bit of everything, mystery, romance, twist and turns, and lots of humor. i just love his work.

ok, honestly, i couldn't live with just one book. i go into the library tony and i built a couple years ago, and just look at all my books-my most prized possessions. i'm such a nerd.
