I have read a lot of books, especially in my youth. I am ashamed to say that I have allowed time and technology to rob me of the habit of reading books from beginning to end. But thankfully, I spent the first 20+ years of my life reading voraciously. Several of those books began turning my mind towards certain themes which eventually turned into a short story...which is now becoming my second novel, 27. Would you like to know what those books might be?
