Comment books that were important to me (Score 1) 700
In high school I read all the Sherlock Holmes books. Later I found the charactor was based on a real person, Dr. John Bell.
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Heinlein was an indirect study in how society is affected by resources.
Stranger in a Strange Land also by Heinlein also about choices society makes that they aren't always aware of.
