Re: Books that inspired you
"Le Petit Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
We read the French version in French III (who'da thunk?). I'll give you the haiku:
Plane crash in desert
Dude's parched, meets a little prince
Prince tells life story.
Or in a few more words, the narrator crashes in the middle of the sahara due to an engine malfunction. While there, he meets up with this little prince, fresh off a trip from Asteroid B612. He then tells the tale of his home, the rose on the asteroid (when you first hear about her, take that like you took Dave's (or was it Woodie's?) hint hint with IR at kickoff), how he left the asteroid and met all of these characters, which pretty much caricatureify adult culture.
It's a short book, but it'll flip your mind around a few times.
