Formative Books, SR's Edition - Page 2

These are some of the books that made me the person I am today! Or maybe were otherwise significant.
I've confined myself to one work per author.
(Edited to note: I am inclined to take a relaxed approach to scoring; e.g., The Long Winter is representing the Little House series, so if you've read any of those, good enough. And if you were ever entranced by the World Almanac, you can check off its erstwhile competitor with a clear conscience. All technicalities count!) 😁
