Honestly, I read a lot more than I watched tv. There are tons of books that shaped me, but I had to struggle to remember the shows that helped me along.
I imagine I’ll ask about books in another post soon then, but it looks like it will be a tough one for you! In the meantime, you can think on it 😉
Thanks for sharing!
