So, what books have changed or inspired you in some way? Really made you think? I have so many..the good one always seem to.
Animal Farm: Firstly, let me start off by saying I hated Animal Farm. I really did. But it taught me about the dangerous dark side of power. It showed me that ultimate power always leads to disaster and dread.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn: Wow..what a beautiful story, showing the melting pot that is America. The end of the book where Francie's heart is broken gets to me every time I read it. Beautiful.
Tuesdays With Morry: Another great one. It showed me that we are never too old, too young, too dumb, or too wise to learn. Every second of life should be truly lived, no matter what.
Letters for Emily: I learned about the power and beauty of love and family. They, and the stories they have, truly are the most valueable things in life. Tough times can always be conquered and in the end, love prevails.
Les Miserables: I learned so much about the multidimensional facets of society and people. It made me rethink my definitions of "good" and "bad", "right" and "wrong". It still makes me think to this day.
