Hi Jennifer. I'm asking this question of several writers, some friends, some strangers... If you had to share one reading experience that made an unmistakably lasting impression on you, how would you describe it? Were you five years old? Twenty-five? What was going on in your life at the time? What did that reading give to you? Caveat: Please don't mention the title of the book until the end of your response. Thanks.

Jennifer Shun When I was six years old, Santa left me a heavy yellow-box under the tree. Inside were 9 thin paperback books all lined-up waiting to be read.
I remember pulling out the first one, cracking open the binding, and settling down to read the afternoon away. Our Christmas turkey baked in the oven, snow fell in whispers outside, the light faded ... yet on I read.

I had devoured all nine books by New Years Day. By Valentine's, I had re-read them at least once more. So tattered and loved is my original Laura Ingalls Wilder "Little House on the Prairie" set that I had to purchase a new version for my own children to read.
