30 Days Of Me - Day 07 - A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

Don't have one in particular however on reflection

‘John Norman’ the author of the Chronicles of Gor. 


I picked up a book from the series when I was about 13. Remembering that at that age because of my dyslexia I had a low reading age. At 11 years old it was about 7. 


'Tarnsman of Gor' This was the first proper book that I read from cover to cover. After that I got a library ticket and then read every Si Fi book in the local library by the age of 15. Now since I did not have anything else to read I then started cycling into Bath (about 12 miles away) to the ‘Corn exchange’. Here there was an number of second hand book stalls, where I bought and sold any Si Fi book that I could get my hands on.

So really if I had not picked up one of his books I would a lot more difficulty reading, it is a shame it has not it has not helped me with my writing.
