I first read Animal Farm when I was four years old and seem to recall enjoying it simply as a nice story. When I re-read it at school many years later I understood so much more of what it was about (obviously). I think it was this that started me thinking about the nature of books; about the way that they can be interpreted differently by different people at different times.
After that, the book that haas affected me most has been The Grapes of Wrath. Quite simply, in my opinion, the best book ever written; it gives an insight into the human condition that I haven't found anywhere else yet.
