Day 8:
Getting harder to think of books that really influenced me. I reckon I'll go with another of the ones that drove me towards wanting to perform rigorous scientific inquiry.
I was drawn towards books that were from previous generations when I studied science it seems.
Han Jenny 'Factors of Soil Formation, A System of Quantitative Pedology', 1941

Day 9:
I'm going to go ahead and admit it. I know that it was just a kind of dime store romance from the time period, but Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's book 'Don Quixote' made a big influence on me.
Main lesson was to fight for what you believe in even if most people don't think you should. Hence, why I became a climate activist before it was cool.
Don Quijote is a wonderful book.
So full of stories, layers and meanings.
As a non native speaker of Spanish, I found it pretty astonishing that Cervantes remains pretty readable today.
"Don Quijote" and the "Novelas Ejemplares" are just a pleasure to read.
My first book, I presented here, was a novel by Soriano.
In the end, all of Soriano's protagonists are Quijotes.
