Hey Guys!!
Not sure how many of you are into reading novels and books. But I am sure there are some good readers and writers out here.

Which writers or books have had lasting impressions in your life?

In my case, its George Orwell's Animal Farm, Ayn Rand's Fountain Head. And I envy Kahlil Gibran poetic writings. How about you?

As far as I remember, the first novel I read was 'King Solomon's Mines' by Henry Rider Haggard, quite adventurous and enthralling, set in a Zulu village somewhere in southern Africa. I read it in fifth or sixth grade.

My favourite writer, however has been Jules Vern, writer of a number famous science fictions, 'Around the World in 80 Days', '20,000 leagues under the Sea', 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth', 'Five Days in a Balloon', ' Around the Moon', etc.

I have got my teeth at the mo into another Richard Dawkins - the good ol Oxonian don!

The God Delusion.

Through Chapter One - so far so good.
