List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?
Dirty White Boys by Stephen Hunter. 6 weeks into the police academy my instructor gave me a book to read. At the time I never knew I would fall in love with reading or the author Stephen Hunter! The book put into perspective what it would be like for me to pursue a career in law enforcement. I’ve read and re-read the book several times and every time I’ve taken more and more from it. It taught me how to purse a criminal, how to never give up and how to survive. Since then, I’ve given the book out to many others in hopes they would find solace in their LE pursuits.
The Enemy Series by Charlie Higson. At the time, having a son under the age of 14, I found this series intriguing. Made me wonder in a world where adults either died or have become infected with a disease which caused them to kill children, would my child be able to survive on his own or with a group? Would he have the necessary skills to find the resources for survival? This book has made me take my sons future into account and help him better understand how to survive in any situation!
As for the 3rd book, well I’m still reading and looking for that impact!
