Hey Pandas, Name The Book That Impacted Your Life (Closed)

The Bible. I was nominally Christian before I read it. Thought I should read it if I was to claim to being a Christian. Once I was finished, I was an atheist.

Kinda cliché but The Little Prince. I read it for the first time when I was about 13 and remember being mocked at because it was a "book for little kids". I could not care less, since I was already pretty sure that kids wouldn't understand the meaning at all, but I never imagined how badly I would want to read it again (which I did multiple times ever since). I really think if we all read it at least once a year we would improve a lot.

Island of the blue dolphins

Maybe The alchemist, it gave a great lesson about how we see struggles. It's story twist in the last chapter was most memorable.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Little Women. Changed the way I see my situation.

Fahrenheit 451. As young child who loved reading anything and everything and lived in the library. I had never thought of people burning books or censorship. This book made me realize how lucky I was to have books and knowledge readily available to me when there are others who don't have that privilege. The thought of getting rid of knowledge, history, culture, and basically everything just for the sake of control over people was mind blowing to me.

My honors geometry textbook :(

Heartstopper by Alice Oseman, that series was what made me realize that I was definitely gay.

The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
Now all i do is daydream about whats out there

The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier.

Johnny Got His Gun. An utterly incredible book. Best book I've ever read. Changed the way I viewed the world.

You can heal your life by Louise Hay
Totally changed my outlook on life made me a more confident positive person.

Shiver and Deserter both by Junji ito
Those books motivate me to draw horror art

The Torah (old testament)

The book that made me like reading as a kid was The Count of Monte Cristo.

The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.

'Juliette' & 'Justine' from Marquis de Sadé --- technically 2 books, but you can't read one w/out the other to fully process it.

15y/o me got a frightening glimpse into the abysses of humanity, when I read them.

Stay away from any work of Marquis de Sadé until you're at least 20+y/o

There were three and only three; Watership Down, Catcher in the Rye, and In Cold Blood!

The Last of The Really Great Whangdoodles by Julie Edwards (aka Julie Andrews). A book that shows you should never let your imagination die due to your age.

A close second is Oh, The Places You Will Go! by Dr. Seuss. This one was a gift from my high school librarian at graduation and meant a lot
