Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.

There is a somewhat interesting story involving how I came to own this book. I was a high school student at the time and I was walking in a business district not far from our home when it began to rain very hard. I ducked into a paperback bookstore just to get out of the rain but wanted to appear to be a customer so I picked up the first book I saw that happened to have a colorful book cover which had caught my eye. It was the book mentioned above. I opened the book at random and started to read. Philosophy was a subject I knew next to nothing about and I expected the book to be very dry and uninteresting, but to my amazement it was very readable and quite interesting. I found out later that Durant had written this book precisely for the everyday person and not for scholars. I was still reading when the rain stopped and wound up buying the book. It has had a tremendous influence upon the direction of my reading interests and I've read it so many times that it has become necessary to patch it with glue and tape. Though I now own another paperback version as well as hardbound I keep that original book in an honored place on my bookshelf.

As I grew up I'd have to say probably Wuthering Heights. I love it so much so I just keep reading it!
