Well, I'm wierd, so here's just a few books that have inspired me over the years (or year or so)....
Catch-22- Funniest book and one that also shows that no matter how bueruocratic the world becomes, there will always be character, life, and soul.
Catcher in the Rye- I hate this book. But it still influences me and inspired me. I hated it the first time around, then when I went over it with my great english teacher Ms. Rose, it made more sense, but I still don't like it.
The Imaginering Way- Great book. Read M. Krass's non-fiction works for the reason.
