Adam’s comments from the I Read Small-Small group.

Its impossible to narrow it down to just one book. Different books have influenced me in different ways but there are a few that stand out as being most influential to me...

Guns,Germs, and Steel and Colapse, in concert, create a breathtaking account of the development of human societies with a scope and depth I've yet to see in any other work on nonfiction.

Dreams from My Father and The Audacity of Hope, while not truely great works of literature have nonetheless been personally very influential and my main man Obama has played a huge role in me deciding to pursue my MPA and a career as a public servant. So they have honestly and sincerely changed my life.

Just for fun and the sheer joy of literary prose it doesnt get much better than Tim O'Brien's In the Lake of the Woods, Herman Hesse's Damien, or Miguel De Cervantes' Don Quixote!

There you have it, my favorite books in country so far.
