2/20 "Kochvergnügen Vegetarisch" Not a novel, but a book that saved me when everyone in my family refused to cook vegetarian food. It now sits among many other great vegan and vegetarian cookbooks.

#work #labour #labor #workersrights #Activism
For the last book that influenced me, I cheat a bit and choose three books instead of just one. But all three of these books are about work and they are very readable books about work and capitalism.

(1/2) Little note: I enjoyed sharing some of the books that have influenced me, but I enjoy reading about books even more. There are so many more beautiful books out there, but there is a difference between being a beautiful read and influencing someone. And sometimes you can't say why it influenced you, maybe it was just a matter of circumstance.
Many thanks to the unknown person who has initiated this challenge.

Queerbrarians Summer Reading Challenge – Queerbrarians

@RonjaBiernat excellent book! John Irving is a wonderful writer
@normshaw Oh yes, absolutely! I've only read this one, but I'd love to read more by Irving. Which other books by him would you recommend?
@RonjaBiernat I have read all of his books. A Prayer for Owen Meany was wonderful.
@RonjaBiernat 'In One Person' or 'The World According to Garp'....but ever one is wonderful.
