The truth is I struggled with making this list, even with the Honorable Mentions. How could I not list stories I love such as “Pride & Prejudice” or “Jane Eyre”? My comfort is knowing that the books listed above, in someway, affected my life; books that made me think deeper, or better, or to look at a situation differently. What book(s) made a profound difference to you?
