@mdom :: Any books count, but not necessarily books for 3rd graders and under. You know, like those picture books?
Truth to be told, I read interesting picture books sometimes in bookstores....
Of course, they don't count in my list.

And the winner is, Keylaleigh for her fabulous answer!

What book have you read changed your outlook on life?
When I was a child, I read The Phantom Tollbooth, the tale of a boy who was constantly bored with his surroundings, seeing life as being very dull. On his birthday, a single present is in his room- a cardboard tollbooth, a toy car, and two coins. Curious, he reads the directions and then takes the car through the booth, ending up in another world the moment he drives past it. In this new world, he meets strange characters like his friend Tock, The Watchdog, who is literally a dog with a watch in his body, and enemies like the Terrible Trivium. To summarise the book in two or three words, it would be called a "Logical Fantasy". They make a very fantastic and whimsical world out of the most simple of thoughts and wordplays.
Now how did this book change my life, you ask? It made me think harder. It made me see the fun where there may not be any fun. It made me think about the phrases I use every day in a literal sense (the concept of "killing time" is rather brutal, don't you think?). The most important thing it taught me, though, was to not look at my feet while I was walking. There's a whole big, beautiful world to look at, and if you spnd all of your time focusing on the smaller things, like just making it home, you miss out on everything.
Wow... that was a little lengthy. It's just that I love that book. |
Congrats!

| What character would I like to meet?
I honestly would like to meet Hermione Granger so we could talk about books. XD It's also funny because someone said once that I sort of looked like Hermione. I think it's the big teeth. But I feel like she and I would find a lot to talk about. (:
Alternatively, I would like to meet Bella Swan so I could punch her in the nose :\

Padfeets, I'm with you on punching her on the nose. 
So, the new question of the week is ::
What is the worst book you have read? Give a good reason why.
