of course my favorite is Jurassic Park! my mother read it and told me i would like it. being a boy at age 13 she sure was right
but the book of his which had the largest impact on me as a young teen is Travels. The thing he did and wrote about really opened my eyes and mind to worlds outside of the small neighborhood in western new york where i was raised. i didnt want to have a life working in a steel mill. i wanted a life like his. exploring new worlds. trying new things. traveling.
and you?
