[TriLUG] Books that inspired us

[Matt Whitlow via TriLUG]

The Last Defender of Camelot - a collection of short stories by Roger
Zelazny. The original book not the one from 2002
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley - a fantasy classic that I
worked my way through 5 times in Junior High and several
    times since
The Nightside - a series by Simon R. Green - A series I still read over and
over, currently working my way through the audiobooks for a
    change.
Armor by John Steakley - This one I didn't pick up until College suggested
by a friend who worked at a bookstore.
The Art of War by Sun Tzu - A high school favorite.
The Last Rune - a series by Mark Anthony only 5 books but a series that
helped me understand how complicated a person can
    feel towards another.


Most of my tastes were and still are Fantasy and Science Fiction(Hard and
Soft) and these were the books that were most influential in my development
as a person, there are many more books I can list but these are ones that I
re-read at least once per year.
