Graeme Simsion:
What are some books that have inspired you or changed your life in some way?
Graeme Simsion
That's a huge question: I've learned so much from books and been inspired by both fiction and nonfiction. The full list would be overwhelming. Here are just 3!
The Unkindest Cut by Joe Queenan inspired me to make a movie, which led to me studying screenwriting and then to writing novels.
The Plague by Albert Camus (read when I was 15) helped shape my philosophy of life - and how to live.
A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving was one of many books which shaped my own writing ambitions.
