Do You Feel That Reading A Book Can Have A Major Impact On Your Life? ..........LisaNY1

Do You Feel That Reading A Book Can Have A Major Impact On Your Life?

Well, That's the question and If so which book was it for you?

Not the Bible though, I mean a regular book or novel by an author.

One for me has been one I mentioned on this site several times, it's called the Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. It made me appreciate things I once took for granted.

Tolkien's wonderful books Lord Of The Rings The Hobbit The Simerillion and Unfinished talessaved mylife .The brought me out of a dark dark place I was in over 20 years due to over whelming personal problems.

Date: 5/21/2002 11:25:00 AM  From Authorid: 20750    yes! the Celestine Prophecy--By James Redfield  
Date: 5/21/2002 11:28:00 AM  From Authorid: 3538    Oh yes, yes, yes!!I really agree on this one!! This may actually sound silly, well, very silly in fact, but I recently read a book called,"Elvis, Priscilla and I," by Michael Edwards and boy, did I get into that book big time!! For some reason, I felt the need to re-live and be in the position of Priscilla Presley. I don't know why, my boyfriend thinks I am nuts for living this fantasy of wanting to be Priscilla Presly when she first married Elvis. I want to know what it was like for her being married to Elvis. I even try to style my hair like she did when she married Elvis by looking at wedding pictures and I even tried to do my makeup like she did when she married Elvis on there wedding day and I took pictures of myself, too, trying to imitate her on my izone camera,lol.  
Date: 5/21/2002 11:29:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 19173    LOL! I actually loved V.C Andrews when I was younger. I only got up to the 2nd flowers in the attack book though. I always wanted to read the rest of the books, I just never got around to it...Lisa  
Date: 5/21/2002 11:32:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 19173    Aww! nice story Mrs. Strider.  
Date: 5/21/2002 11:32:00 AM  From Authorid: 53748    The lion the witch and the wardrobe. Great book for younger people. (10 years and older). also a wrinkle in time. after I read those books I knew I had to be a writer when I grew up.  
Date: 5/21/2002 11:34:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 19173    I would like to read that book Justic G. I saw a movie on VH1 called Elvis and Me, and it seems Pricilla had a hard life with Elvis. It's a good movie you should see it if you haven't already...Lisa  
Date: 5/21/2002 11:37:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 19173    I have that book around here somewhere, the Celestine Prophecy. You just reminded me MoonGirl, I always wanted to read that one, I'm gonna have to go dig it out.  
Date: 5/21/2002 11:41:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 19173    I can't spell today "Flowers in the attack" and "Pricilla" LOL! Don't mind me I'm just pressing submit before going back and checking.  
Date: 5/21/2002 11:43:00 AM  From Authorid: 2030    Mein Kampf, The communist manifesto. I'd say books can have a major impact on many lives.  
Date: 5/21/2002 11:50:00 AM  From Authorid: 19092    I read these books once called the "Chronicles Of Narnia" about these children and a lion, a witch and a wardrobe, even had a book called "Prince Caspian" they didn't effect me though....  
Date: 5/21/2002 11:53:00 AM  From Authorid: 48993    Many Lives Many Masters by Dr. Brian L. Weiss.........changed my life forever!!!   
Date: 5/21/2002 11:53:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 19173    "Prince Caspian" Hmm? You may be in denial about this one King, are you sure it didn't have any influence? HeHe   
Date: 5/21/2002 12:17:00 PM  From Authorid: 25183    I read The Handmaid's Tale, that was a bizzare book! I really enjoyed it. Just about every book I read makes me think about my life, the good and the bad. So I would have to say yes, a book can affect your life.  
Date: 5/21/2002 12:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 277    I read the book "Anne of Green Gables" (don't remember the author) when I was about 10 years old. I think it did have an impact on my life, because the character Anne always spoke her mind. I always did prior to reading the book. But, after I read it I didn't hold back on telling people what I thought.  
Date: 5/21/2002 12:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 277    LOL! V.C. Andrews? How does that book leave an impact? The mother did it with her uncle. Then the girl did it with her brother....  
Date: 5/21/2002 12:42:00 PM  From Authorid: 52360    If you want a book that has an impact, buy Blackbird by Jennifer Lauk. It's the most amazing true life story of a little girl who's mother is very ill. Then after you've finished that, buy the sequeal, Still Waters. They're beautiful, beautiful books. - Minimus x  
Date: 5/21/2002 1:11:00 PM  From Authorid: 24924    DEFINITELY true. I don't want to think of how my life might have been, had I not been able to read many great books. "Age of Reason" by Thomas Paine; "Man's Search for Meaning " by Victor Frankl, "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey, just to name a few.  
Date: 5/21/2002 1:13:00 PM  From Authorid: 9130    This is a good post i think that a book CAN have an affect on a person... If i can think of one that affected me, i'll post it later   
Date: 5/21/2002 1:16:00 PM  From Authorid: 53182    I love to read, and i think books can have very drastic effects on people. Fiction helps people see other points of views and expand there horizon's. Lots of books have effected me like that. The Chocolate War, The Talisman, Dandilion Wine.....etc. -the lost boy
Date: 5/21/2002 3:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 19460    omg i have a book for ya, Lisa... its called Three Wishes (nothing to do with the Patrick Swayze movie,though). the author is Barbara Delinsky...it's considered a romance novel i guess, but to me it was more. "here is a tale of courage, community, and the magical consequences of being given and second chance." give it a read!  
Date: 5/21/2002 4:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 53838    I have two The first one is a childrens book called " There is a monster at the end of this book" I read it to my children & now my Grandchildren Then for my self it was the Left Behind series of books../. Old Lady

Date: 5/21/2002 4:51:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 19173    Dizzy Me is that really you? I'm glad you're back   
Date: 5/21/2002 4:56:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 19173    Hey DoodleBug, Yes the Handmaid's tale is different, that's what I think I loved about it. When You think about it, it could happen. Much of it reminds me of how the women of Afghanistan were treated by the taliban...Lisa
