What 3 books!

List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. It inspired me to be a writer. It was a beautifully written piece of literature originally published under the name Ellis Bell. Bronte’s character development and the intrigue of this novel, especially written by a woman in 1847 was none other than miraculous.

The Second Sex by Simone De Bouvoir because it was a book that enlightened me to sexual inequalities. I also went through an existential period in my life.

Native Son by Richard Wright. I went to a fairly affluent all white school. This book had a profound impact on my understanding and abhorring racial bias.

In 2015, I retired and my goal was to do as much traveling as I possibly could. I started the blog for our first month long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and I on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity to it. So here we are. I invite you to join thefouramigos blog on our next destination.
