I've occasionally talked about books and movies that have influenced my gaming but I have never listed my personal Appendix N.
My list includes fantasy, science fiction and some historical fiction. It also include a few non-fiction titles, particularly from my youth. It includes things that I read or viewed through my life, from childhood until now. Most probably look familiar but there may be a few surprises.
