Books That Changed You

[Shayknee2893]

What is a book or what are some books that had an impact on you, made you think differently, or questioned what you believe in?

May it be fiction or non fiction.

How did it change you, without giving a plot away, incase I or someone else may want to read it.

It totally blew my mind and I loved it. That was the day I fell in love with scary stories. Nothing was ever the same for me. Haha.

Slaughterhouse Five, or The Children's Crusade by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. I wouldn't necessarily say this one changed my life, but it did have a big enough impact on me that I read it every couple of years or so.

Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver. This book gives a good perspective on the natural world around us and the crucial relationship between predator and prey.

Can't say that a book has ever changed my life but some have made me look at life in a different angle and opinion on it. It was a book called "Chances"

This one too, it was the first of only a few books I enjoyed that I was forced to read in school.

Romeo and Juliet.

Mercutio was the man I hoped I could one day grow up to be like.

How did that work out for you?

How did that work out for you?

You know, lived the dream, stabbed by my friend's rival, cursed both of their families, the usual.
