Gakked from kurukami, but it started here
My challenge to all of you? An A to Z of books that have influenced, moved, inspired and/or changed you...

I want the alphabet of the most life-altering, amazing books that each of you have read... and I wanna see this meme spread ;) Link back here if you post the meme to your LJ! We're all writers -- even just in the blogging sense -- and reading and writing go hand in glove... Awe me. I'm working on my own.

Hmmm....Works that immediately come to mind (which if I don't remember the name, it couldn't have been too life altering right??)

All Quiet on the Western Front

Stranger in a Strange Land - Robert Heinlein

Things Fall Apart - Chinua Achebe

Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card

Pastwatch - Orson Scott Card

Tao Te Ching as translated by Stephen Mitchell

note to self: turn off the gas burner before removing the tea kettle...otherwise you'll singe your arm hair when you set the kettle on the back burner behind the lit one.

Fortunately not really even singed...just a patch of really short hair but no burn. huh.

OMG...I forgot how much I enjoy Two and A Half Men. I swear, it's been so long since I've seen a sitcom that was actually funny, I forgot what it was like. Even after a couple of seasons on the air, the show just stays excellent.

Now if only cbs and my mind would keep hiding its timeslot from me.
