20 Books

I have become aware of a challenge on social media to post the covers of "20 books that have influenced your life" with no comment-- just the covers.  I'm not on social media, so I will present them here.  And I'm too lazy to figure out how to screenprint 20 covers and manageably arrange them in a post, so I'll just give title and author for most.  I might as well have not even bothered, right?  I needed a topic anyway, so be that as it may:

Of Mice and Men - John Steinbeck

The House of Blue Leaves - John Guare

Blues People - Leroi Jones (better known as Imamu Amiri Baraka)

Inter Ice Age 4 - Kobo Abe

I feel like I'm leaving something out.
