There are 3 books I read while younger that greatly influenced the way I live my life and how I see the world...
1. Siddhartha ( Herman Hesse )
2. Brave New World ( Aldous Huxley )
3. Catcher In The Rye ( J.D. Salinger )
Don't ask why... just read them & find out...

I could list a hundred and walk you down my book shelf, but one is easier and some lessons you learn at five stay with you. The Sneetches & other stories by Dr. Suess Primarily for the title story, but I have to say the other three stories had important lessons as well, including the fact that their are more than enough people named Dave in the world.

As a child I read Watership Down and didn't think anything of it at the time. But now looking back on it, the book was very powerful. I read Celestine Prophecy when I was a teen and I was amazed at how it made me look at the world around me. It made me look at things in more of a spiritual light rather than just what you can see and touch.

The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling... Not the Disney version but the real thing. Up to today, I am an animal lover and I trust animals a lot more than I trust people.

Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susanne. Even though I never became anything more, this novel made me believe that I could become successful in the field of entertainment--acting. I made a wrong turn somewhere-- I'm a mortician now.

I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, and also, A Separate Peace.
Both of these books gave me new perspective, one on mental illness, the other on human frailty.
They both amazed and enlightened me, and still do.
