Your Three Most Influential Books

[abaris]

I can relate.  I've always preferred nonfiction but every now and again I read a novel and love it.

I find it interesting how nonfiction, especially in my field, which is history, changes rapidly. It's a sign of science doing it's job. For example, many of the books about the third Reich and it's exponents that have been written more than 25 years ago, are simply wrong in places. The reason for this being that the Russian archieves haven't been accessible for research.
