Jillian at Random Ramblings posted
about ten most influential books in her life and she encouraged others to do
the same with one rule... you can’t explain your choices. I tend to over
explain my choices for lists, so this was an intriguing idea. Then Brona listed
her books and Adam listed his and I knew I had to join in the fun.
Jillian said "I love a lot of books. However, I've learned that the favorites list and the most influential list are two completely different things." As I started making my own list I realized the same thing. The most influential book I read by one author might not even be my favorite by them.
