As you read you will be drawn to specific works and in so doing, will be able to create your own list of favorites, meeting people you know or have known; situations you have experienced; places you have been or have had visions of visiting; things you have done, or wished you had; also decisions you made or hoped you had made differently, all of which probably would have made life altering changes at those perennial forks in the road of life.
