Alas, Babylon. By Pat Frank, 1959. One of the first paperback novels that I remember reading. Liked it so much, I also read “Forbidden Area, by the same author. Those two got me started on a lifetime of reading.

“The Circus of Adventure,” by Enid Blyton. It was the first real book I read on my own. It was so exciting that I pretended to go to bed, only to get up later to continue reading. I then read everything I could find by that author. It kick-started a lifetime habit.

I guess it sounds a bit silly but another book or rather series of books which influenced me were the James Bond books.
I applied to the CIA and got a form letter, “Thanks but we are not hiring now”. Eventually did go into an interesting field.

The Game by Ken Dryden ... and then his
Home Game: Hockey and Life in Canada, which was published when the CBC documentary by the same name was released in the late 1980s.
It seems odd that a sports book would have such a profound effect on someone's life, but Dryden was more than just a Hall of Fame hockey player. He writes about hockey, sports in general, the life of a professional athlete, and the culture surrounding the life of an English-speaking star playing in the French Canadian mecca of hockey.
Canada suddenly made a lot more sense to me after reading this book. And then I started playing hockey in my late 20s, too.

Many will say the Bible which is appropriate. This influences my speech, actions and thoughts, daily.
But as for books NOT written by God I’ll say the Screwtape Letters by c s Lewis has been very influential in my day to day life, surprisingly. Sophie’s Choice (Saroyan) taught me what a novel is.

Hunt for Red October (and the Tom Clancy series)
Because, it got me back into the habit of reading, which was critical to delving deeper into the Bible and Church History.
