These books are, in my opinion, among the most important ever written and all that I write sits in their shadows. Some I love, a few I love to hate and one or two are always on my mind and echo in my actions throughout my life. In black and white, these are the minds that have sculpted mine. I hope that they will forgive me if I disappoint.
