On the 6th Day of Christmas...

Books are a highly valued commodity. I enjoy reading, more and more the older I get. There are 6 books that have played an important role in shaping my thinking. Those titles are:
Bible,
Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis,
The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien,
Soul Survivor: How My Faith Survived the Church by Philip Yancy,
Crime & Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky &
The Screwtape Letters also by C.S. Lewis.

There are lots of other very important books, works that effect in different ways, whether emotionally or intellectually. Books are like music or film or fine art, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What titles would make your list of influential books?
