Books

Top Eleven Life Changing Books
1) Pascal's Penses, Pascal
2) Kafka was the Rage, Broyard
3) Catcher in the Rye, Salinger
4) Screwtape Letters, Lewis
5) The World Next Door, Sire
6) Complete Works of John Donne
7) The Stranger, Camus

8) Fear and Trembling, Kierkagaard
9) The Hapless Child, Gorey
10) The Man who was Thursday, Chesterton
11) Brave New World, Huxley
12) Burning in Water Drowning in Flame, Bukowski

That top half comprise books that gave new ideas that changed why I am who I am, the second served more poetic ends in saying things I felt and couldn't articulate or by feeding me full of absurdity--which by the way, I LOVE.
