What a great thread!!
 
Five books that have changed my life:

   1984 (Orwell)
   The Idiot (Dostoyevsky)
   The Hobbit (any Tolkien)
   Surprised By Joy (Lewis)
   John's Gospel, or Solomon's Proverbs

By rights I should mention some of the kids lit. we've read to our young over the years...over and over and over ~ it tends to stick in a strange and wonderful and life enhancing way. I now find myself quoting Dr Seuss, Don Freeman or even the Curious George guy  :)

cheers from true north,

After seeing the limited response to the release of Willie's I started wondering if perhaps, Workers were not much book people.
Therefore I'd be curious to hear the following:
Name up to 5 books that remain pillars in your literary life.
I'll start, in no particular order (and this is far from exhaustive):

Malevil, Robert Merle
The Lord of the rings (20 years before it became a movie)
Atlas shrugged, Ayn Rand
Jitterbug perfume, Tom Robbins
Anything by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Anything by Alexandre Dumas

Anybody?

Brigitte
