Yes, you're a gigantic homosexual, we already knew that. But what book or books led you into your life of homosexuality where you feel compelled to express your queer bullshit to the world?

I mean okay, if I'm going to start this, at least semi-sincerely, I'll have to admit my own, Joris-Karl Huysman's A Rebours. I'm not going to explain why though. Figure it out yourself.

I read Kitchen Confidential when I was 7. I was halfway through before my Mom noticed and told me it wasn't appropriate. I told her I was already halfway through and so she let me finish it.

Anyway I don't think Bourdain is a god anymore but I still feel like that book caused my love of cooking, living out of suitcases, and anal.

This is so cliche but 1984. I read that book back in 6th grade and it turned me into the distrustful cynic I am today. It took me years to actually understand what the book was saying about government, the media, and the manipulation of language, but even as a kid who was acting out monologues for drama class, I understood the core takeaway that the government lies to the people.

To Kill a Mockingbird, The Green Mile, and The Outsiders were the first books I ever read. My mom was an English teacher and pretty much up to the day I passed away she was giving me books or letting me look over her shoulder while she went through her lesson plans and lectures. Those are just the three lessons that stuck with me.

There is a play called My Children! My Africa! that I first experienced by reading it; I like that one a lot. If you see a production of it, be aware that it is a "high spit" production. Don't sit in the front row.

As a turbonerd I really really like The Silmarillion. It is more exciting and compelling than Tolkien's other works.

"If I Pay Thee Not in Gold" A trashy fantasy novel that I absolutely adore ever since I read it back in middle school.
 
Siddharta by Herman Hesse

Every time I hit a new life stage I read it to get a feel of what's in store next. I too transformed from beggar magician to rich fatso. Except without the rich, fatso or magic part. Basicly I'm just a beggar. I have to give handjobs for every 5 minutes of internet to post on the kiwifarms. SEND FOOD.
 
I probably re-read Redwall by Brian Jacques every other year. I first read it back in the 5th grade which was really the perfect time in my life to find it. Without rambling on too much, it was the spark that made me start creating my own fantasy world to base my first comics in, and it made young-me see myself in a very strong light. At that age I related to animals a lot more than people (Still kinda do!) so having a fantasy adventure with all animals made it very engaging.
I try to read things that aren't, you know, written for actual children, but sometimes you just need to read something comfy and envision yourself going on an adventure and meeting friendly hedgehogs who invite you to their cottage for tea and cookies.

Crime and Punishment. It was one of those books we had to read in secondary school, I wanna say 2nd or 3rd year. I thought it'd be yet another boring fart huffing Realist book but when I started reading it I got so engrossed by it I finished it in one sitting.

1984
I read it quite late in my life and that's probably a Good Thing™ - I believe that I actually understood most (if not all) of parallels to reality, both historical references and future predictions and my soul was utterly crushed. I've literally become a different person almost overnight after reading it.

All of Ian Fleming's work but particularly, Casino Royale, Moonraker, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Those last few pages of Moonraker man, punch in the gut.
