What Is The One Book That Changed Your Life And How?

Voyage of a Summer Sun. Read it my first year in college, and caught a longing for adventure that never went away. I ended up joining the military, moving 3000 miles away from home, and meeting my husband. We are both out of the military now but the adventures continue...
Reading this book set me on a path to the life I have now.

Keepers of the Lost Cities. This is a lesser known series but a WONDERFUL one nonetheless. I'm going through some hard times right now and I started reading it and got hooked. Reading the books in general, just makes me calmer and less stressed. Definitely reccomend.

For me it was "To Kill A Mockingbird". Read it while i'm still in senior high school and really change the way i see to everything. Taught me to be more open with anything, taught me to be less judgemental than i was before. A great story wrapped with a great point of view really makes the story and the message easy to be accepted by audience.

Outwitting the devil by Napoleon Hill. It opened my mind completely in a so many different ways. I understood so much more about life and people, and why the world does certain things that I have questioned myself growing up before. But yes its a MUST READ book.

Embraced by the Light by Betty Eadie. Wow what a powerful book, it gave me reason to live, and love. It's a book about the author's experience dying and coming back to life. My heart sang through the whole thing. It's a quick read for anyone going through a hard time, I guarantee it'll make you cry (a good cry). There's something behind those words that'll speak to your soul.

Impossibly hard question, but perhaps The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster. Full of nostalgia and humour, cynicism and innocence, yet somehow a satire and meaningful commentary of modern-day life, it opened up points of view I'd never thought of before. Hardly a day goes by when I don't think of or quote it.

The Beach by Alex Garland because it shows how crazy people, we all, can get when put in absurd scenarios & Ted should be an international holiday!

The cat who lived a million times. This is my favorite book when I was little. A bit sad but I love this book. I recommend reading this book!

Mine would definitely have to be The Edge Chronicles. The first book i ever read was Beyond the Deepwoods from the Twig saga (my brother would read it to me as a bed time story) and to this day the Twig saga is still my favourite saga out of the whole series. Paul Stewart's books are just so awesome.

Mine is definitely The Long Walk: A Story of War and the Life That Follows by Brian Castner.

It is not my all-time favourite one, but it helped me overcome my PSTD, and it helped my family understand what I was going through. It helped me stop feeling alone and misunderstood. It was the trigger for me to get back on the right path and overcome adversity. Can't thank Brian Castner enough for writing this book.

The Prophet by Khalil Gibran
It's look at life and view points came into my life in my senor year of high school and still to this day I reread it yearly to gain a broader perspective on life.

The Unfortunates by B.S. Johnson. I don't know if it changed my life, but it changed every view I had on literature, and the world.

Mine was a book on an app called wattpad, and it was called the last healer. It made me reall like reading, for the first time in my life. I discovered the app because of my brother who also got it. I was in grade 4, and now I'm in grade 8 and i still use the app.

Vango by Timothee de Fombelle. it's translated from French and has an almost poetic feel to it. I was nine when I read it and it opened up a world of amazing books. I have, to this date, read it thirty-two times.

Mine was definitely "Rebecca" by Daphne Du Maurier. There was something about the way it was written. The mystery that surrounded you till the end and in so many ways, I could relate to the narrator. Her insecurity and loneliness somehow changed me and still influences the way I write.

The Harry Potter series and the autobiographical books of Gerald Durrell. I read the former ones in one cold winter away from home together with my friend and my sister. And they simply changed my understandings of some things. The second ones made me look the life from it's funnier side and completely convinced me that zoology must be the path I choose.These books made me turn to a new chapter.

The Lord of the Rings. This is the one book who give the taste for reading. After this one i try some classics (Shakespeare, Verne, Dumas, Moliere, Poe, etc...) and i really grow up with those.

"Warriors" by Erin Hunter. It was popular in the 2000's. I was about to throw the books away, but I read the blurb of one, and I've been hooked. I do get teased by my friends non-stop about my new fondness for cats, and for my love of reading which I already had, they just never brought it up. Now, I follow the Warriors topic on QuizUp, a social media and trivia app you should totally get.

Watership Down by Richard Adams was transformative for me because even as a child, I could recognize the power of an allegory about the deepest roots of human nature. I reread it as I grew older and even as an adult, I am touched by the resilience of the human spirit and the profound power of love as demonstrated by unlikely heroes (a colony of rabbits).

Without a doubt it is Great Expectations! It was the first novel I ever read. It taught me to have a love of reading and demonstrated how books could take me to far away places and adventures!
