Maybe The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings count as two of the three books? I think The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was probably formative for me as well, particularly in terms of its fatalistic dark humor. If I could cap off that meal with coffee and a salted chocolate chip cookie or three, all would be right in the world for a moment.Ĭhoose three books that you've always identified with?Ĭhris: I’ve always felt an affinity for Tolkien’s hobbits, who mostly want to avoid trouble and stay at home with a book and a good snack.
