Books That Changed Me as a Person

A list of books that shaped me as a writer, a child, an adult, and just left hooks in me in general - from literature to children's stories, illustrated books to poetry, manga and manhwa, to gay romance and erotica to nonfiction across many subjects. 100 books in total (although I'd say about 20% of the ones I wanted to add didn't exist in the database, alas), I hope you enjoy!
