He sometimes reads two books at a time, and has been giving me paperbags full of paperbacks since I was in my 20's. I'm sure I still have a few Dick Francis books in my book tubs. It's sad that a lot of authors he shared with me are getting older and then it reminds me that he's in his 70's too. My dad started me reading Dick Francis.

Was even lucky enough to have a relative appear in his autobiography. Want made the books even better for me is the way he so realistically portaryed the horse industry. So many writers who have not been involved or done the correct research make incorrect assumptions around horses (animals in general actually) and how different people react. Not only that the racing industry can react differently to your normal horsey person. Have to agree he is one of my favourite authors.
