Lists of Bests: inkdrinker's "Books which have had a real impact on me"

Send to Printer inkdrinker's "Books which have had a real impact on me" These aren’t always the most well written or even the best books (although they often are both). These are the books which have really left me thinking or feeling something about or because of them for days. By it’s very nature this list will grow as I read new things which have this kind of impact.
