As clothes may make the person, the books in my life have helped to shape my person! Thank you Seth Godin!!!
In my younger years, I could be described as a voracious reader. With the advent of the internet, my book reading declined significantly. However, I've now made it a point to make time to read some of the many books that are gathering the dust in my library.
So, what about that title of my lens, you might ask? Well, would you believe that The Books in My Life was actually the name of a paper I wrote when I was in junior high as an entrant in a writing contest.

Drop me a line ...
Is there ONE book that you could pick as your favorite, all-defining book of all-time? Well, i.e., other than the Bible or Federalist Papers? I personally cannot pick just ONE because I've been influenced and affected by far too many books throughout different stages of my life.

- Funny how you mention The Federalist Papers...I had to read that in school, and hated every minute of it! A book I loved was 'One Door Away From Heaven' by Dean Koontz and my favorite classic is still 'The Scottish Chiefs' by Jane Porter.

This is a wise saying.
