Would love three answers for this question:

1) The book that you have kept possession of the longest.

and

2) The book that has had the greatest/longest impact on your life and/or lifestyle.

and

3) The book you have read the most number of times.

My answers:

1) Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss


2) White Witch, Black Curse (The Hollows: Book 7) by Kim Harrison - This was the first book I read on the iOS Kindle app. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B001NLKRY4/


3) White Indian Boy - Autobiographical of John Tanner (Falcon of Lake of the Woods) that my parents purchased at Lake Itasca Park in Minnesota as an adolescent.

1. The Magic of Recluse. Modesitt.
2. The Last Dancer. Moran.

It's pretty much a tie. A LOT of books are close though.

1: A Wrinkle in Time. About 3rd grade. My first foray into sci/fi
2: The Hobbit. I was a teen. I actually had a semester that I signed up for reading, and hour a day for a semester. BEST class ever offered as a choice! They’d bring around a cart of books to choose from and I plucked it out and was enthralled. Even better was finding out it had more books to follow.
