animorphs, wow. loved that. definitely made me more philosophical.

remnants and that fantasy world one, though I didn't finish either also probably made me a better thinker

Did you read them in order? I was a child of public libraries back then so I took what books I could get haha.

was kind of random, but I tried to do them in order. My library was really good. (and scholastic school sales too iirc)

I remember reading a pink one with bats, and thinking, this one was really different and just a few years back I read that they used ghost writers for a few of them

I have a similar relationship to Animorphs. Also, one of the books had a conversation in which an Andalite expressed amazement that humans invented email after the telephone, and this has really stuck with me into my legal career (in which the sheer volume of email has caused problems for both my clients and the profession in general).

I also loved Anathem. It didn't change my life, but it was my entree into Neal Stephenson's oeuvre (and still my favorite of his books).
