Hello all,

Today we discussed our texts. With Zafon's quote "that few things leave a deeper mark on a reader than the first book that finds its way into his heart" as our lens, we crafted our list of books or texts that we felt left this mark, and we also discussed the validity and applicability of using these texts to teach others.

Here is the list of books:
