The English Teacher's List of Books That Profoundly Affected and Changed His Perceptions

A list of 50 books that have had a major effect on my life, career, and thinking. Since I am primarily literary and theatrical in the ways that I interpret life, the universe, and everything, the majority of the books listed are also literary and theatrical. This is a purely personal list, and explanation is not my intention. For reasons that matter to me, these books have done so much to shape my ideas, my career choices, and my beliefs. I limited the list to 50 in order to force myself to seriously reflect and choose. One result was the realization that I was much more affected by Poetry than I had realized. Hmmm...🤔
