Chosen by July 2012 Guest Editor Caroline Lawrence: 'You never forget the people who introduce you to a book you fall in love with. My parents sent me The Last of the Wine, the book that changed and determined the course of my life. Twenty-five years ago my friend Charles Ford got me hooked on Philip K Dick.
Ten years ago, his wife Penny told me about True Grit. Imagine: an American being told about one of the great American novels by a Brit. This is probably one of my top fave five books of all time. It partly inspired my new history-mystery series. The audio version of True Grit – read by American author Donna Tartt - is my number one audiobook of all time.
If you ever go on an American road trip with your kids, take this for the car. Heck, get it even if you never intend on going to the States.'
