One of the books that has affected me the most--believe it or not--is Robert Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. It's still my favorite novel of all time.

One book that really moved me recently was "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Moonlight." It's a terribly moving, funny, clever look into the life of a teenage autistic boy. Awesome book.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite books is "The Ultimate Gift". It was great. My most recent was "The Last Lecture". Don't tell, but some on list will be getting this for Christmas! Carole - thehobdys@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteI am sad to say that I haven't really read any books recently that have greatly affected me, I think I've been reading too much fluffy stuff lately, I think it's high time I get something into my hands that really makes me think!!!!
My 2 biggies were Maughams's Of Human Bondage and Diamant's The Red Tent. Very different, but both compelling. Thanks for the giveaway and the thoughtful question!

My book club will be reading this for Dec. so it is perfect timeing. One book that affected me deeply was "Thirsting for God in a Land of Shallow Wells" by Gallatin. Changed my life forever.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win.
Is it cheating to say The Bible? I generally read more fun fiction than books that would really affect me. But the Bible ... it changed my life. It's a re-reader for sure.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a book I would really enjoy. Thanks for the chance
A book called No Language but a Cry had a very big impact on me. It inspired me to study child development and to volunteer with groups that help neglected and abused children.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds so interesting. Thanks for the giveaway.
They were talking about this book at my church group Sunday. Said it was amazing to read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for having the giveaway!

Sounds like a fascinating book! I also love your background by the way!
ReplyDeleteI see someone else's book was No Language But a Cry - and I was sitting here trying to think of the name of that book!! It is one that has really stuck with me over the years (obviously not the name though...)
ReplyDeleteThanks!

I don't know if it 'greatly' affected me but I read Rebecca in middle school and loved it and it's made me make a conscious effort to read more books about women (and their independence/rights) and by women as well..and 'classic' books.....(like the Awakening which might be my favorite book)
ReplyDeleteAlot of books have affected me in alot of different ways, or atleast have gotten me to really think about things in a different perspective. The Last Lecture was one of them, also Lucky by Alice Sebold

The Diary of Anne Frank moved me as a child and as an adult

I recently read Denise Jackson's book (she's Alan Jackson of country music fame's wife). I think it was called "Putting Him first". It was incredibly moving and really struck a chord with me. Its about their marital strife, struggles and about finding your way back to God. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered in the giveaway. Thanks
I REALLY want to read this book! The books that have affected me the most have been the Elsie Dinsmore books by Martha Finley, they've really helped me grow in my relationship with God.

ReplyDeleteI can't think of a particular novel that has affected me in any way, I just love to read this genre of book. I'd have to say the Bible is my biggest inspiration, though.
