I experienced some of the most powerful LK in college in the mid-70s, when I encountered books such as Plath's The Bell Jar and Ellison's Invisible Man. I came from an all-boys, mostly white high school and they were eye-openers. I love that image.

The movie "Pursuit of Happyness" did the same thing to me, and I haven't been the same since--especially after I took the time to watch the goodies included on the DVD.

I've actually been thinking about this alot, although from a different pespective; I've realized that a book I recommend to a customer could end up being a favorite or even a life-changing read. As for me, my LK has always been finding an author that just changes the way I look at books. Stuff by Vonnegut, Orwell, McCarthy and Jonathan Hickman changed the way I looked at what can be accomplished in books and how thje medium can be used to tell stories. In my case, I guess it's more BAW and AAW (before awesome writers and after awesome writers). Great post!
