There are so many books that have made a difference in my life, that it’s hard to even begin to list them. However, here are some titles that have taught or inspired me.
I have always told people that I love Homage to Catalonia, but I' ve decided it's Orwell that I love especially the fact that he wrote l984 in '48. I must add my vote for satire. Isn't that the lingua franca of all truthful discourse. The rest may not be silence, but it's better than being sentenced to sententiousness.

Homage to Catalonia has become my touchstone for honesty in writing. An amazing book.
