Hey Jeremy,
Happy holidays and thanks for the question. The first books to really rock my world and shake my foundation were written by Gerald Durrell, concerning his adventures as a zoologist. His life is quite amazing and as a kid, I would find myself getting lost in the pages of his books all the time. Also, Judy Blume - god, that woman is a total rock star.
As an adult, the book that has had the greatest impact on me as a writer is Gabriel Garcia Marquez's ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE. The story is full of magic and wonder and death and destruction...and that first sentence...WOW. Just wow.
What about you?

Imagine I'm asking you this as a good friend of yours: Why should I read The Girl or Dutch? I can tell you that I love fantasy and romance books, 'cause as I always say I have too much reality in my daily basis. So, please, tell me a little more about your books :).
