Ishmael also had a big impact on me at a similar age. I gifted it to my younger sister w a lengthy note on the inside cover that she still has and I read once in a while. Another book for me at that time was the Tao of Pooh.

Thank you for sharing that. I have "The Tao of Pooh" on my bookshelf. Bought it at a used bookstore in Rice Lake, a small town to the south of me. I enjoyed it. I break it out once and awhile . . . when I want to tap into Taoism. 🙏
