Thanks for sharing your reading influences; I feel like I learned a lot about you. This was a great read, and made me start thinking about the books that have influenced me. Definitely The Black Stallion and that series, way back in elementary school. Horse crazy like you wouldn't believe! Still am, to a lesser degree and in differing ways. Asimov's Foundation stories and other of his work, early favorites that drew me to scifi. I don't know that I have had any profound life-altering reactions from books I've read, though, like you have; I will have to ponder this some more. I fear that my swiss cheese brain has let them slip away from me ;-( Lovely post. Thanks for sharing your reading influences; I feel like I learned a lot about you.

I think I have some fear of it being too accurate & therefore feeling like this relationship is doomed! @ April: I’ve not yet read Quirkyalone, although I’ve always wanted to.

D. Remember (yeah, that's me not being a librarian and looking it up) on my list. Probably HP and LotR too. They certainly influenced most of high school!

Maybe someday I'll see my own copy with a bright green cover. That would be one book I'd loan to any incoming graduate student, or any student I know seriously considering academia as a career. It gave me a nice view on graduate school before I even stepped foot into it. I haven’t thought about “Apprentice…” in a long time… thanks for reminding me!
