Books that shaped my imagination, writing, and life
The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy by
J.R.R. Tolkien. I genuflect to the master.
All Creatures Great and Small, All
Things Bright and Beautiful, All Things Wise and Wonderful,
and The Lord God Made Them All by James Herriot. Hilarious, sweet, moving, and brilliantly
written.
| A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the
Door, and A Swiftly Tilting Planet by Madeline L'Engle.
I'll always believe in
farandolae. :) |
A Wizard of Earthsea,
The Tombs of Atuan, and The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Le
Guin. Ged, may my
characters have a bit of you in them.
All seven books of The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. I
still insist these should be read in the original order, with The
Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe first. It's just not right
to mess with a classic. >:[
The Fionavar Tapestry trilogy (The Summer Tree,
The Wandering Fire, and The Darkest Road), Tigana, A
Song for Arbonne, and The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel
Kay. Lyrical prose and beautifully detailed settings.
The Dragonriders of Pern trilogy
(Dragonflight, Dragonquest, and The White Dragon)
and the Harper Hall trilogy (Dragonsong, Dragonsinger,
and Dragondrums) by Anne McCaffrey. Thank you, Lessa.
