Okay since the topic of which book haven't you finished is still floating around, I thought I ask which are the most affecting books you guys have read. Not necessarily best books, but those that have most affected/influenced you.
Here are some of mine.
The Tin Drum, by Gunter Grass.
The Sound and the Fury and Absalom, Absalom, by Faulkner.
I and Thou, by Martin Buber.
In the Country of Men, by Hisham Matar -- so emotionally arresting.
Borges, his short stories, his essays, or almost anything by him.
Anway I could go on and on, but that is some of the things. But I'm curious to what have really influenced others.
