Which Book Has Had the Most Influence On You

[Malcolm P Price]

 

Another vote for Enid Blyton's 'Famous Five' books.

 

I was slow at getting to read anything of any length and Enid Blyton's books solved the problem for me

Of course after the Secret Seven books, I graduated to the Famous Five, Julian, Dick, Anne, George (who was a girl😮) and Timmy the dog, what an education I had 😂

Not a book that has influenced me, but one I have read at least 10 times over the years is Chickenhawk, by Robert Mason.

 

Not at all political, just a chronology of his time and antics in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot. His second book, covers his struggles back in the US, and his incarceration for being a flying drug runner. From memory, both books were written in prison.

 

So no, not influencial at all!

Nothing to do with cars and petrol but I've just read Nuclear War: A scenario by Annie Jacobsen and it influenced me quite a lot in the present climate.. don't read it if you want a good nights sleep!!!

Over 40+ years ago this was the book that first got me interested in cars.
