March Question Meme, day two: Books that had the greatest emotional impact...

Asked by frelling_tralk:

This is quite an interesting question to have following on from yesterday's post about my Desert Island books. Because in many ways my favourite books have had an emotional impact on me, in that they've caused me to love them. But that's not how I interpret this question, I hope I'm not wrong.

Thanks for sharing this! The Alexander Hamilton bio is on my list to read eventually.

You'll fall in love with him, I warn you now.

Really interesting, thanks for answering :)

I LOVE ALEXANDER HAMILTON!

[denorios]

He is the best, the very best, and I adore him and will fight anyone who dare says otherwise.

I can be ridiculously defensive and partial about my historical favourites. And I have a total type - dying tragically before their time. Case in point - Harold Godwinsson, Richard III, Simon de Montfort, Abraham Lincoln, John F Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Alexander Hamilton. There's a pattern there!
