The Best Book Or Two That You've Ever Read

[McD5]

I hope this is as helpful to someone else as it has been to me.

The two best books I've ever read are both by the same author. Each one changed my life overnight.

Here's the first book. And his second allowed me to quit a pack-a-day, 15 year smoking habit in less than 24 hours.

I highly recommend both of these to anyone who is even thinking of quitting.

I'm not sure I could ever pick just two or if I did that I wouldn't give you a different answer if you asked me the same question an hour later.

Same!
I'm a voracious reader and devour books.
That said, the book that changed my life and set me on my life-long love of reading is "The Hobbit" My 6th grade teacher read some of it out loud to her students and noticed how much I paid attention amd enjoyed the story,(I was a hyper kid), that she asked my Mom if it was okay for her to lend it to me.
I couldn't turn the pages fast enough and immediately followed it up with the entire Lord of The Rings trilogy. I was hooked on reading since then.
I've read and reread them countless times in the ensuing 50 or so years.

Probably the first book I remember loving was Harold and the Purple Crayon. The series that got me into reading was The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. I was ten years old and at the beach except it rained for the entire week. It was the only book available. A fantasy whose protagonist was a leper and eventually a rapist was probably not really suitable for someone my age, but after that book I was done with kiddie books and lived in the science fiction section of my local library.

Three of my all time favorites.
