As a child, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle, Rootabega Stories by Carl Sandburg and Grimm's fairy tales. As an older child, The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. As a young adult, The Mists of Avalon and Clan of the Cave Bear.

I just finished Dean Koontz's "Innocence." It's all about how we look at things and how they make us feel. It's an always relevant theme.

When I was a young girl, I took out a book from the library, With Dad Alone, by Jerrold Beim, about two boys whose mother dies. Their father sends them to stay with their grandparents for the school summer vacation, which in retrospect made me sadder than if they stayed home with their dad. But, Dad had to work so off they went.
When they got home it was so sad because they missed their mom so much. The book impacted me because although I had a very loving mother, it still made me think about how life would be without her. My eyes are getting misty now just thinking about it. I'd love to read the book again but it's totally out of print.
The other book is The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck. When I first read it as a pre-teen, I'd never known that this type of life existed. O-Lan was one of my favorite characters and my hero, and still is. She was so brave and good despite her miserable life.
Those are the only two that come to mind now. Great topic!
