Could be the book you loved the most, the series you daydreamed about, book that inspired you, fascinated you, your comfort read…anything.
And why.
I LOVED the Anne McCaffrey Pern books. I would walk around daydreaming about new adventures set in the books’ world. The Dragonsong books really connected my love of music with my love of fantasy (and animals).
Definitely Jane Eyre. There were several books that particularly influenced my reading taste, but JE spoke to me in a special way, both in the ways she was perceived and treated as inferior by others; her rejection of this and pursuit of independence and self-respect no matter the cost.
“For liberty I gasped; for liberty I uttered a prayer.”
Also…. Mr. Rochester has his, uh, flaws, but he’s hilarious and an incredibly vivid character. Their relationship >!pre-Bertha!< absolutely sent me to another level.
