the_rckScott got pinged on FaceBook with a meme to list ten books that have had a strong influence on him. That sounded interesting, so I tried to come up with a list. I'm not sure this is *the* list. It's hard to measure influence on me. I picked out things I read over and over. Most of these are kids' books (one of the two exceptions, The Chronicles of Amber, is on the list because of how many Amber campaigns I've run and played in over the years), and all are books I first read in middle school or earlier. The books aren't in any particular order, and I've pared the list down from over twenty books. GoodReads was helpful in reminding me of books I've read and loved.
Drujienna's Harp by Ellen Kindt McKenzie
The Treasures of Morrow by H.M. Hoover
The Turning Place by Jean Karl
The Homeward Bounders by Diana Wynne Jones
The Pushcart War by Jean Merrill
The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny
Silence Is Deadly by Lloyd Biggle
The Singing Tree by Kate Seredy
Dragonsinger by Anne McCaffrey
The Silver Crown by Robert O'Brien
Scott said one's supposed to ping five people to do this. I'm not going to because I don't think that's fair. That said, I'd be interested in other people's lists.
