14. The book that, in hindsight, really should have clued you in to the fact that you’re _________ (queer/in love/doomed to be an academic/etc)
There are two book that when I read them influenced me to study English medieval history - that was Mary Stewart Hollow Hills and Sharon Kay Penman's book that I talked about. But I already loved history - it was my favorite subject in school - so it wasn't a revelation. Maybe when I picked Schlesinger's Age of Jackson to read for AP history class. It was the thickest and most complex book on the list. Everyone else in the class chose something easier. But I read it all, although it wasn't easy at the time, and liked it. I should have known I would be into academia then. And a geek. But really, I can't think of a specific book that relates to future revelation.
