This Book Changed My Life

The books we read will definitely affect our life. You are a good example of what books can do. The books I read are also affecting me, but these books are different from what you read. I read the Bible and is affecting me because I can see my flaws and begin to pray and ask God to help to be conformed to His Word and live a life that is pleasing to Him.

Great story. It's very rare for someone to claim that a book changed their life, and it isn't pure BS. Usually, someone will go on and on about a book, and you realize how it could change someone's life if they took it seriously, but you know that person is just the same as they were before they read it. My life has centered around books, right from when I was small, so I couldn't say that any one book or type of book changed my life. They all did. I learned from them, not just the subject matter, but about how to write well. And they definitely made me want to be a writer.

hi tom, that's a nice story. i've never had any amazing experiences with these books but i do remember that i first read it by mistake because i thought it was a different book my friend recommended but i'm glad i made that mistake.

Hi: When i first read Lord Of The Rings i was 14 years old. This book opens your imagination lots. I think this read affects me as a writer, now i have a better style and still love reading this novel. I'm actually reading The Two Towers right now.

Hi Tom. I first read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings about 36 years ago. I can't say that it has affected my life in the way it did yours, as far as leading to a relationship that started with a discussion of the books, which I think is great! But I would say it has affected my life in that to me Middle Earth is real. Tolkien was so wonderful with his descriptions of everything, including people and their personalities, that everything seems real. I'm an avid reader of all types of books, but I still feel that LotR is my favorite. I stopped counting how many times I'd read it at 25, which was about 30 years ago, and I've read it again many times since then.:)

Welcome to mylot Tom. I haven't read the books about Lord of the rings and The Hobbit. But, as I watch the trilogy of LOTR, I was amazed of the action, graphics, characters and the story itself. If I had read that book, maybe I will also be inspired to write like you. I have read only few books in my entire life and I'm 25 now. But what I enjoy most is reading news articles. I once follow Goosebumps pocketbook and I never explore to more books after that one. Its amazing to hear your experience with your wife through Lord of the Rings. Funny coz' I remember my friend who cries in the movie "The toy story". It's the only movie he ever cried of. Happy mylotting Tom.
