I've never enjoyed a book more than The Story of the Human Body. I feel as though it was written to cater to every one of my interests.

These last two are kind of a tie, if I was to rank them. I'll edge it to Addy Pross because he knows how to write for the layman. These two books really helped me to be okay with death after becoming an atheist, both for myself and for my loved ones.

And finally, a Jack Handy book, because he makes me laugh, and also, I can't think of another book that has influenced me. I'm stubborn and it takes a lot to influence me to live differently in big ways.

I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
