Interesting. I would have guessed Robin McKinley or Octavia Butler or somebody like that. :-)

I don't know if it's my favorite book, but the book that saved my life is Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. I read it when I was 12 (because that's the age at which children could access the adult section of the library, and I'd finished all the Heinlein juveniles), and there were parts of it that I didn't quite understand at 12. When Jubal tells Dorcas that she smells like a cathouse and Mike is puzzled, because he's seen cats, and Dorcas smells nothing like them, I was equally puzzled. :-)

My parents are very conventional and very authoritarian people, and I knew there was something wrong with the picture of the world that they were presenting to me, but I didn't have enough life experience to be able to replace their picture with something else. Jubal and Mike, between them, shattered that picture into a million fragments, and I am grateful.

Very belatedly but no less heartfeltly, thank you for telling me this. I know what you mean about books that saved and changed your life.

Some day when you feel like it (and when you have the time!), I'd love to hear about yours.
