Which Books Had The Most Impact On You?

which books have you read that had the most impact on you or meant most to you? (emotionally and personally, etc.)

as for me, it was the outsiders. ever since i read it in sixth grade, it did and always will get to me. it's so deep and real.

your turn people!

theres actually a couple of them but this is the first one:Conversations with God : An Uncommon Dialogue (Book 1)
By Neale Donald Walsch

the author says he had a actual conversation with god and asked some serious questions.but its up to the reader to believe he had the conversation but the content of the book gives the reader new ideas about God, their relationship with God, and to look at their own spirituality.

Hrmm... quite a lot.

Sun Tzu's Art of War, I've read a couple of different translations so I won't list them all, I haven't really finished 'cause I have to read some of it a few times to absorb its meaning.

A short version of the Five Rings by Mushashi.

Mythology, and books on religion, I've read a couple of them... so yeah, I won't list them either. Mostly European, and some Eastern.

The Outsiders is cool, by it never really changed mine.

To Kill A Mocking Bird is good since it gave me a good idea of the great depression, of Mice and Men helped with that too.

Oh yeah, shakespeare's works, most of all Romeo and Juliet an inspiration to my woo'ing soul.

Why A Caged Bird Sings is good too, another perspective of life through another persons eyes.

A Biography of Che Guevarra. I always wondered why he's an icon, and after reading it, I see he stood for good things, but he's not an all around good person.

Lovecraft's works, which is weird, but makes me want to write things like it.

Anne Rice's Servant of the Bones. Not her best work, but very good story.

Tale of the body theif, very yummy. : )

That's all I can remember right now... lol.

Well, definately lotr. It really did have an impact on my heart. It's so touching, I cried at some points while reading the book.

The other book that really comes to mind is a book that I read probably when I was in 4th grade. I was really into R. L. Stine books, and i read this book called The Ghost next Door. To me, it was so sad, and I cried, the ending was just so touching to me. Well, there you go, my two cents. wink

No book has ever touched me like "Nowhere else on Earth."
I am a Lipan Apache and this book is told through native eyes during the civil war. A lot has been told/written of the civil war on behalf of the african americans, Confederates, and northern sides no expression but this book reflects on how natives of scuffletown (the town in the book) were treated and how they try to salvage their dignaty and family in this war torn time. sad

It is also a true story.

Does it count if you read a book, don't get touched by it, then get touched by it later?

I don't really know... laughing Maybe because HP is like sooo related to everything? embarrasment Heehee...

Well the ones that really had a big impact on my life (literally speaking) was the Vampire Chronicles... Made me believe that I was going to be save from the evilness of the world. I was depressed for 2 years, and had to see a psychiatrist because I've attempted suicide like more than fifty times in different ways. When I started reading the Vampire Chronicles, I started believing that maybe a vampire will save me from all this. Maybe I'll turn immortal if I'll just be patient enough.

embarrasment

Had the most impact eh?......

Well my mom once threw a hardback copy of a David Niven novel at me when I was naughty, that made quite an impact I can tell you. roll eyes (sarcastic)

But I don't believe you meant it like that, so I'll say the book that stayed in my thoughts longest after reading it was The Catcher in the Rye, I suppose. I saw a lot of my younger self in that character, I think most young lads would in fact.

I have had several.

1.) Ash of Burgundy - it is this real account of Ash of Burgundy (like Joan of Arch) written in a narrative. It is brutal, real - there are some rather vivid sex scenes that were kinda shocking, but the rest was real and effervesanct.

2.) Spirit Fox - by Mickey Zucker Reichert and Jennifer Wingert. It is a book about a girl born to be Queen with an all-consuming sadness. She loves the horsemasters son, but when he finds her lying naked in the woods, he is accused of her rape. He runs away and joins these fierce warriors and mages. It is the story if him and the mages and soldiers, and the girl and her life. She is morphing into a fox, and it turns out that is why she was in the forest naked. It's very good. Anout 300 or so pages. Maybe more.

4.) Harry potter 3-5. Just Generally good books.

5.)Hiding from the light - about witchhunts and the ghosts of the past haunting the descendant of a witch who was excecuted.

There are more, but I bet you are getting bored now! LOL!
