[QUOTE="Dioltach, post: 8561755, member: 21843"] I'd like to say [I]The Sword of Shannara[/I], by Terry Brooks. Although I was already reading fantasy (mostly YA stuff) by the early 1980s, [I]Shannara [/I]fanned the flames into a bonfire. But it didn't change my life as such. One book that did change the course of my life was [I]Een Beytie Hollandsche[/I], a collection of essays that James Boswell penned while he was learning Dutch. Not because of its contents, but because of its existence. I was on the team that published it at university, and because that took up so much of my time I put off applying for a room in a student dorm. I finally did apply, and was assigned to a dorm that had a room available through an oversight. Years later, one of the girls who had lived there for a while recommended me for a proofreading job, and so started my career in translating and editing. Not only that, some years and three jobs later, a new colleague joined my team. We fell in love and next month we'll have been together for 20 years. [/QUOTE]
