Not everything I learned was learned from books, or even more from one particular book. In the case of birds, I've learned a lot more in the field than in in the library. Same story for photography.

Have you ever read Albert Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus"? That's one book I read when I was in my early teens and I've read it again several times since then. Albert Camus and I have differing opinions about the topic of his essay "The Myth of Sisyphus", but I found the book very important. If you're interested in philosophy at all and you've never read "The Myth of Sisyphus", I suggest you read it. Interesting list! Have you ever read Albert Camus’ “The Myth of Sisyphus”?

[...] The most recent (the one I’m not mentioning) just last year." You do realize that you've caused this book to be the most interesting one by far, even drawing attention to it by mentioning it twice. What can be life changing yet too personal to mention? The Quran? "Going Rogue" by Sarah Palin? "TTYL", "TTFN" or L8TR, G8TR"?, "The Earth, My Butt, and other Big Round Things"? Alan Moore's "The Lost Girls"?. I guess we'll never know. :-) “There’s one more book in my private list that I’m deliberately omitting here. [...] The most recent (the one I’m not mentioning) just last year.”
