I have a large section of nature field guides. Even saved the one from Guatemala in the 80’s. A big section of self-help books from my single parent years. All the Louis L’Amour Sackett books, the Shabanu series, the Giver series, the Jackaroo series and yes, My Side of the Mountain! All wonderful!
I love looking at people’s personal libraries. Especially the books that people tell me they read over and over throughout their lives.
It’s like seeing the foundational texts of someone’s life, values and interests.
What are your personal foundational texts?

I regi av skolen eller bare i den alderen? Husker ikke helt hva som var hva, og jeg leste mye, men de jeg får en sånn følelsesmessig reaksjon av å tenke på den dag i dag uten å huske handlinga veldig nøye er Shabanu -Vindens Datter og Ravnejenta.

i think this was the last required book i actually read in middle school. not because they didn't assign more, but because the one-two punch of Call of the Wild followed by Shabanu filled me with hate. and i actually really enjoy reading.
