Books are one of humans' greatest unifiers and sources of inspiration for writers. Junot Díaz, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao," "Drown" and "This is How You Lose Her" shares five books that have had an impact on him and that he thinks everyone should read with Salon's D. Watkins. It's a list Watkins likes to ask for from every writer he meets, both established and aspiring, to better understand their creative process. The best part, according to Watkins is that the lists always change from year to year.
