Influencing Books It is a big issue, a very big issue. I wish to devide the titles mentioned below to two main chronologically tracing eras. Early years were spent mostly on sci-fi (science fiction) and fantasy literature, the most obvious examples must be J.R.R Tulkin's fantastic "Ring" series and, though not that great, Weis and Hickman's "Dragons" trilogy. I presume that these books were sort of an escape from reality to a kid with a hyperactive imagination. More contemporary books bring us to earth a century to four centuries back to the time of Guete, Balzac, Zweig. Times of quite, relatively peaceful goings at the cradle of the western civilization, classical europe. Time of emperors and kings ruling as their ancestors ruled, threatened only by each other. Before the nationalism awakened and revealed its ugly head in the most absurd and terrible way in human history, the world wars.
