I'd frankly love to look up all the books I was exposed to in English class in HS and redo them again (90/91 through 93/94). I was so, so bad in school.

I do like Sarah Vowell and Sam Harris, though. Not sure they really shape me, though.

I asked this question of my wife on our way home from a walk this afternoon.  It occurred to me that books needn't be very influential in our development.  A conversation, a movie or an experience can do as much or more.

Her choices for books were all read very early on.  Anne Frank in elementary school. Some book by a guy who taught method acting.  I forget her third choice now.
