And contrary to the article I just shared, this ISNT a lie. 10 books from my formative years that made a lasting impact. 1. The Sound and the Fury - yes, Huff Post, REALLY! Id never read anything like it and knew I wanted to write stuff that produced that kind of reaction 2. Possession, A.S. Byatt - first book I read as a student. 3. Immortality, Milan Kundera - first book I queued outside the shop to get before the place opened - the saddest love story ever written 4. Hannibal, Thomas Harris - another I queued to buy and read the day it came out. Have read it at least 25 times. Remarkable 5. The Lord of the Rings - yeah yeah, I know. I read it at primary school as a bet but absolutely loved it 6. Fear and Trembling, Soren Kierkegaard - frightened the living daylights out of my teenage self 7. Ministry of Pain, Dubravka Ugresic - beyond haunting 8. The Piano Teacher - Elfriede Jelinek - dark dark places 9. N.P., Banana Yoshimoto - making the damaged beautiful 10. Wasteland, T.S Eliot - or, specifically The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock
