10 works for the perpetually curious

Hello(!) Below this lovely and idyllic scene of fungi--complete with a visiting Monarch, crepuscular light and fairy dust--you''ll find a list of 10 works of literature I find to have made a significant impact on the way I see the world. This is by no means a list of my favorite pieces or even the most important. I would find such a list both tedious in its length and probably impossible to create. I suppose this is a sample platter of the kinds of works that I consider thought-provoking and philosophical, in the non-traditional sense. I am always open to suggestions and comments. Stay tuned and we'll see what else comes up.
