Hi All,

I have been following the Music Association Challenge. It has been great fun. The posts are adding up. On my way home from work, I had a thought that is Airstream Related and similar to the Music Association Challenge.

Ever go to somebody's house and check out their book case? It will tell you a lot about them. Lots of adventure books? How to books? Fiction? Biographies?

In our quest to get the world wired, I don't ever see me giving up "books". There have been some books that have really made a difference in my life.

What books have you read that changed/ altered/ adjusted your life in a positive manner. Let me know what it is, I may have read it. Did you have a favorite part?

For example, one of my all time favorite books is Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I can totally relate the Airstream lifestyle to a guy traveling around the country looking for something or someone.

My favorite part of the book is the Professor's discussion on what Quality is... exactly.

I also loved the Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy, Oh, and Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad (I think), they made Apocalypse Now based on it.

I would really love to hear your thoughts

A book that changed your life. If you could only have 10 or 20 books, what would they be?
