I was reading Edgar Cantero’s Meddling Kids and thought it was a scooby doo reference only to find out later that it originally was a Enid Blyton reference that was somewhat changed to scooby doo because more people got scooby doo then they did Enid Blyton. This being said what books/authors did you get introduced to by the influence they had on future authors/books?

I read Lord of the Flies because Stephen King mentions it a lot in both his fiction and nonfiction, particularly in Hearts in Atlantis. Somehow I was never assigned to read it in high school, so that’s how I finally got around to reading it.
