Books that changed your life
Scandanavian War Machine:
I wanna know what books (if any) have affected you in any profound (or even unprofound, i guess) way.
Heres mine:
-The Hyperion series by Dan Simmons. Holy cow. thats all
-Novocain For The Soul by "Logan." This is not an actual book but a short story i found on the internet several years ago. Its a fan fiction follow up to the anime FLCL and its very well done.
-Catcher In The Rye by JD Salinger. Because it made me realize a book can have me completely sucked into it and still be about NOTHING.
Of course i could list another hundred or more books that I love but these are the few that really affected me (that i can remember right now anyway).
Lets see what you guys read.
Rawr and Stuff:
You Shall Know Our Velocity by Dave Eggers just for the quote "You shall know our velocity"
Stifled Dreams:
I haven't read any good books lately, but here are two from my mysterious past:
The Giver. When I first read it, I was like... 10, I guess. Anyways, it made a really big impression on me. I don't know why.
That was the year that I also read the Phantom Tollbooth, which is when I really got into writing. I think the first comic I've ever drawn illustrated part of the Phantom Tollbooth for a 5th grade book project with my best friend. That doesn't sound important, but it is to me.
There are a few more that I'll probably mention later.
octozombie:
I'd have to say The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Read it over a year ago, it's still my favorite book. Ever.
There are more, but I guess the only other one that pops to mind is House of the Scorpion.........it made me think about the complicated consequences and responsibilities that we must face when we are too curious.
Two great books.
ayePod:
"On The Road" That book half embittered me to the world and half made me realise that it's all good in the end. I'v read it now about 30 times.
