I would have to say for me...

SHE'S COME UNDONE by Wally Lamb
ARE YOU THERE GOD, IT'S ME MARGARET by Judy Blume..
JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL by Richard Bach..
WIFEY by Judy Blume
WINNIE THE POOH by A. A. Milne

Some people may not appreciate some of these books, but I see a little bit of myself in every one of them.

This question bothers me. When I first tried to answer I only came up with 3 books and then the next time I came up with over 10. I guess my answer is that I cannot define myself within 5 books.

Books by P. J. O'Rourke - I think sarcastically, yet sincerely and intelligently like him

Books on/about celebrities - speaks to my daydreams that have been a lifelong joy

Books on military - a career for which I have the utmost respect and some regret for not serving


Mysteries - like to keep life and each new experience a mystery so that describes me

Self -help/Realization books - self management is the biggest challenge.

Five books from my shelves that would define me are 1.) my absolute favorite book, A VOICE IN THE WIND by Francine Rivers, 2.) HADASSAH: ONE NIGHT WITH THE KING by Tommy Tenney, 3.) FIRST LIGHT by Bodie and Brock Thoene, 4.) DIVINE AND HUMAN by Leo Tolstoy, and, of course, 5.) would be The Bible.
