As a child, my favorite book was Emmett’s Pig by Mary Stolz; as a teen and as an adult, books continued to provide me with entertainment, inspiration, information, and thoughtful reflection. Picking one book is a challenge but All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque is one of my all-time favorites.
