The Most Influential (on me) Books

The following is a list of the most influential books in my life. These are the books I read over and over. Read these and you will have a glipse into the depths of my mind. Any chills you get from that image are not my fault! So without further ado, or any real reason, and not in any particular order, I give you....


My favorite books:


Lever Action by L. Neil Smith


The Human Zoo by Desmond Morris


The Man in the Ice by Konrad Spindler


Abusing Science by Philip Kitcher


Owl at Home by Arnold Lobel


Tunnel Through Time by Lester Del Rey


The Mammoth Hunters by Jean Auel

Hope by Aaron Zelman and L. Neil Smith


Time and Again by Jack Finney


The Complete Sherlock Holmes by A. Conan Doyle


Pirate by Richard Platt


The Scars of Evolution by Elaine Morgan


The Stinky Cheese Man by Jon Scieszka



And the book I am currently reading and really enjoying is Pallas by L. Neil Smith. Of all the alternate worlds I have lived in through books, this one may just be my favorite.

  1. The only one of those I've read is Sherlock Holmes, a two-volume set of the complete stories.

    I guess I have some catching up to do.

  2. I get reminded pretty often of the essential books I have not read yet. Sometimes I think that is why it is important to communicate with one another; it helps spread ideas around even if not from the original source.
