Reflecting on my earliest reading memories, I recall diving into Rudyard Kipling's *The Jungle Book* at age five in Ghana, captivated by its illustrations.
The turning point in my literary life was *Catch-22* by Joseph Heller, which I read during an overnight flight at 18. It perfectly matched my feelings about war.
*Mister Johnson* by Joyce Cary opened my eyes to genuine experiences in Africa and was revelatory for its empathy and honesty, reflecting my own life's encounters.
Reading *The Heart of the Matter* by Graham Greene inspired me to pursue writing, showcasing how personal experiences transform into rich narratives.
