The book that changed how I see the world is: The Quiet American by Graham Green"When I was in undergrad, I spent a year at Oxford doing an independent study. There was a used bookstore just downstairs from my flat and as Grahame Greene was something of a local hero, his books were always on sale out front. I ended up becoming addicted to his novels, and as an American abroad, his stories about men, often on a mission of varying degrees of valor and importance in a foreign land really spoke to me.
