Over on social media, I did post this, and I’m not sure I’m willing to clog the blog with 20 hi-res images of book covers. But pursuant to a horoscope entry, and another up and coming one, I could post a list of 20 books that have infinite meaning yet, do so without attribution or explanation.

Book Challenge

20 books, no attribution, no links, just books, the covers of books, that have stayed with me. Some deep meaning, some insight, some joy, and in my examples above, I think I reread most of them, more than once.

Reread them and then relived the experiences and what I found important, joyful, sorrowful or cathartic about each?
