1. One book that changed your life: The Student Map Manual.<\/p>\n
2. One book that you’ve read more than once: Albert Camus, The Plague (horrible book; I was trying to get an A); by choice? \u00a0 C. J. Mahaney, Humility: True Greatness.<\/p>\n
3. One book you ‘d want on a desert island: C.S. Lewis, Essay Collection and Other Short Pieces \u00a0(hard to find!, but some used here<\/a>)<\/p>\n 4.
