My grandmother started the library in our hometown and was the librarian there until she retired at 88. So you must know that when I say that I grew up around books, I do mean that literally. I think I had gone through all the Nancy Drew books by second grade and it never slowed down. One of the most important books I have ever read would be: The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight. Others I hold dear: The Celestine Prophesies, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior, And Behold a Dark Horse, Stephen Kings collection of short stories, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The 11th Element,- Eat, Pray, Love,-
