I have been doing a lot of thinking today about the last eight years, and how much I will miss Barack Obama, who always defined himself as a writer first and a politician second. And a man who believes, passionately, in the power of fiction. So here are 8 fiction books I read over the last 8 years that are among those that meant the very most - that shaped who I am now in one way or another. What are yours? Use #8for8 !
