I can’t remember not liking to read, my memory doesn’t go back far enough. I loved riding my banana seat, five speed bike up to the town library to pick out a selection. (I wrote a bit about this in Hint of Silver)
I think the first series that I remember getting into was the Hardy boys; kids just a little older than me being able to solve crimes that the adults couldn’t solve or didn’t even realize were happening.
I found The Man of Bronze, a 1930's hero that traveled the world with his team of experts to fight evil; he was kind of a Batman like character.
Who doesn't like Tarzan; Edgar Rice Burroughs and his hero John Carter on Mars, I began gravitating towards powerful men who got things done through grit, determination, and sheer force of will.
One of my high school friends father gave me The Green Ripper by John D. Macdonald (he wrote the novel that became the movie Cape Fear) and I was hooked on Travis McGee the larger than life hero of that series.
Sure I strayed and read some Steven King and while in the military I read quite a bit of William W Johnstone but I quickly came back to Jack Ryan, Jack Reacher, and Mitch Rapp.
I desire to do them all proud when writing my Gordan Hudde series, whether the books ever sell or not, these men influence my writing and I enjoyed all those hours of leaving my own body to fight cruelty, injustice, and evil through the supermen that they gave us.
