Over on Facebook a friend challenged me to list 10 books that had an impact on my life. I figured I should share them on Tumblr as well. So in no special order (and limiting it to one book per author), here they are:
- Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh
- Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland/Through the Looking-glass by Lewis Carroll
- Doctor No by Ian Fleming
- The Tango Briefing by Adam Hall
- A Empire of their Own by Neil Gabler
- On Writing Well by William Zinsser
- D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths by Ingri and Edgar Parin d’Aulaire
- Thieves’ Picnic (AKA The Saint Bids Diamonds) by Leslie Charteris
- The Boy Who Could Make Himself Disappear by Kin Platt
- The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien
And a weird honorable mention for No. 11: Corvette Summer by Wayland Drew
