List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?
I guess Hymns Ancient & Modern is one. Not because I sang from it in the choir in school, but also because it was used to smack me on the side of the head when I got notes or words wrong. Quite the impact that! And not at all what you were thinking about.
I also remember How to Grow Taller in Two Volumes. That really worked. You put one under each foot. But it was very difficult to walk very far. They weren’t stilts and no handholds presented themselves.
I am struggling to find a third book that seriously made an impact. I guess it might be the Oxford English Dictionary that I dropped on my foot when I had a stress fracture. That really was an ow-wow impact.
Mind you, I have read other books that have had a serious impact – emotionally and intellectually. But I am not sure you would be interested in them.
