(Mostly) Unassigned Books That Probably Turned Us Into English Literature Majors in College

Let's get off the required reading lists from school. Sure there's an overlap--but what were the important books for you, as opposed to those assigned? Here, childhood through 39 years of confirmed reading addiction, books that got a gen x kid through the wastelands of suburbia, middle school and religious high school, books that got me into College, books that made me an English major, books that have kept me going...the kind of books one returns to again and again.
