Re: Is there a book that changed your Life
I've always been an almost obsessive reader. As a child, my parents used to complain that they never saw me as I was either out playing in the fields and woods near our home, or in my bedroom reading. Although we were a pretty poor working class family, as a 9/10 year old, I loved Richmal Crompton's 'Just William' novels which appealed greatly to my natural sense of rebellion. The fact that William came from a wealthy middle class family (they had a 'phone' for goodness sake - and they had a cook and a car!) never really registered at the time - we were brothers in spirit and that was all that mattered. I soon discovered politics through literature and devoured Jack London, George Orwell and a little later, Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller. Between them, their books helped me develop my rebellious but cynical approach to politics. Actual experience has only confirmed my youthful prejudices. Nowadays I don't trust anyone in politics - even those I agree with!Re: Is there a book that changed your Life

I read all the T Lobsang Rampa's in my early twenties and they turned my thinking upside down.Thread Tools | |
