There are, of course, many . . . but these are ten books that have the potential to impact everyone: younger, older, any stage of life.
How about a book that offers more than wisps of childhood, but has some carry-over into adulthood? It's the kind of book that has just enough warmth and simplicity to appeal to a child and enough thoughtfulness and mayhem to appeal to the matured realities of life, the kind of book that deals with life and death, friendship and parting, community and work, younger and older alike.
I'm talking about Charlotte's Web, by E.B. White. Not a bad read at any age, and certainly a top ten book by me.
If you haven't read it . . . give it a try. You'll no doubt discover something you had forgotten or would like to discover again.
