Books that changed your life
Bastardous Bassist:
I rarely re-read books. The only two that I've re-read a bunch are The Hobbit (because it's fun, and it just feels like I'm curling up next to a fire, and an old, bearded relative is telling a story, it's awesome) and Catch 22, which gets better every time.
Kai:
Catch 22 is amazingly amazingtastical.

i'm currently reading catch 22, welcome to the monkey house, and travels with charley.
1984 is a pretty good book...it is 1984 after all. it's amazing. but whenever i reread books, they usually get better...i notice things i didn't see before.
then some just never come to me...like nabakov's invitation to a beheading...that one's good...but it's just so dense and...cryptically translated? maybe if i knew russian, i'd read the original and see if it made mroe sense...merrr.

--- Quote from: Kai ---I've notcied alot of people have mentioned 1984. Just curious, how many of you have read it more than once?
--- End quote ---
I've noticed most people are just listing their favourite books are at least the most historically significant a la 1984, and not books that have actually impacted their lives outside of the context of the book.
citylights:
we could always list the books that have blocked bullets from penetrating our hearts...but wait...i ain't got none of those.
stargirl by jerry spinelli affected my life...i wrote this thing on it for a competition...got a $50 borders card and a $100 target card.
pretty sweet deal, eh?
