Question

Is there a particular book that has had a strong impact on you?
It doesnt have to be your favourite book, but something that stayed with you for a long time after reading, or something that means a lot to you.

Answer

This Perfect Day by Ira LevinbrThe Condition of the Working Class in England by Frederich Engelsbr Days of Sodom by Marquis De SadebrThe Best Short Stories by Guy de MaupassantbrThe Doors of Perception by Aldous HuxleybrHeart of Darkness by Joseph ConradbrThe Dark Tower series by Stephen KingbrWilliam Gibsons writingbrA porno book I found in my my aunts bookcase when I was calling it an erotic novel would simply flatter it, it was porn in written form. I say this quotimpactedquot me not because it was a form of sexual discovery but rather the realisation that adults, like me, were perverts. I dont consider myself to have been profoundly effected by another persons work although that might just be my own romantic vision of myself but I consider all of the preceding works to have affected my approach to life, my belief about human nature and even my own writing style.
