15 books

A request issued by my friend Lee is the source for this list.

"O.K...... think about 15 books that influenced you--whenever!
It doesn't have to be the "Best" 15 books in history, just your personal 15 that moved you or changed your way of thinking or got you hooked on reading! Whatever you want to list.
Just don't take forever to think about it, the first 15 that come to mind!"

Here they are in no particular order of import.

1. Anne of Green Gables Series, L.M. Montgomery
2. The Practice of the Presence of God, Brother Lawrence
3. A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L'Engle
4. The Wisdom of the Desert, Thomas Merton from the Desert Fathers
5. The Bible, no specific version but have loved the "stop and think" the Message has brought.
6. Return of the Prodigal Son, Henri Nouwen
7. Everything written by Dame Agatha Christie
8. When the Soul Listens, Jan Johnson
9. The Imitation of Christ, Thomas a Kempis
10. The Cherry Ames Nurse Series, Helen Wells
11. George MacDonald, C.S. Lewis
12. The Great Divorce, C.S. Lewis
13. The Five Little Peppers Series, Margaret Sidney (Harriett Mulford Stone)
14. Uncommon Graces; Christlike Responses to a Hostile World, John Vawter
15. Winnie the Pooh, A. A. Milne

It's a diverse and eclectic list, so it suits me to a "T". The great thing about reading is how it can take you far away or deep into your soul.

Thanks Lee for bringing many happy memories to mind!

Still reading daily,
