Hive mind: Name three children's/YA books that shaped your life.
Not in the sense of teaching you skills (e.g Dr Suess->reading) but rather imparting values that stayed with you.
I'll go first: Tree Grows in Brooklyn; Little Women; The Hobbit. #cosobookclub
@estherschindler I don’t know if it qualifies, I did start reading these in my early teens, the writers I remember really causing a shift in me, were the existentialist writers. Camus, Satre, Kafka and Dostoevsky.
Also, Thoreau and Whitman.
@estherschindler
The Dispossessed by LeGuin
Steel Beach by Varley
The Dalai Lama's Cat by Michie
YA more than children's books
