Thanks for posting this! It inspired me to come up with my own list, which was a really fun trip down memory lane…

The question was “books that change the way I see the world” not changed my life. Just as Harry Potter changed children’s literature and Mary Roach has a new twist on non-fic, I thought Art of Racing became a best seller without the hype of a publishing house but by word of mouth of the readers. It became a best seller on merit not advertising. Readers find the good-read, there is hope for authors to find their audience.
