A friend of mine asked me for my top 10 favorite books.

"friend" might be the wrong word? He is a friend, but he's also someone I only know because he is the therapist assigned to one of the kids that I work with.

We likely would not have met otherwise. I share this specifically because he's outside my usual friend groups, you know?

But, because of who he is and what he does and whatever, I'm giving this question a little more weight than I usually would, and not just flippantly listing off 10 books I like.
