Sorry tbach, didn't see you asking for reasoning:
OtR- A book that had an impact on me as I was traveling. Ambitious writing, it makes me optimistic and influences the way that I conceptualize story telling.
SoT- Amazing story, fascinating thematically. Scathing in it's critique of everything, it keeps my cynicism grounded in the hilarity of our lives.
OFOtCN- As I have stated in other threads, I believe it is the most perfect piece of lit ever written. It has helped me inspect our society and the American Dream. Has a profound impact on me as a writer. I can read this book over and over again. There are very few pieces of art that have given me more enjoyment. I think I like this novel more than most people [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
