I'm still hesitating over whether or not to enter this competition, because a hardback a month for life...wouldn't give me much time to read all the other books on my To Read pile!
My first thought was The Call of the Wild, then I read the small print and realised it was far too early.
When I think of influential books I think of books that have influenced my writing style, so I'm leaning towards The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Then there are books that have influenced me to get interested in a genre or a period in history; so Dr No, Biggles of 266 or I, Robot.
I love and admire Toby Litt but I wish he would go back to writing cheerful books, like Beatniks (see also Douglas Coupland).
