So when Adkins added this week topic about books we have read and books that have had an impact on my life. I had to sit back and really think about it. So here we go sorry for no cover photos about the books I am going to talk about.
- The first book I can remember is my mom read where the wild things are. I think ever parent read. That to their kids it gave me a sense of things that were out in the imaginary world I created. When she would read that story to me.
- The second book that I can remember reading was by S.E. Hinton , the outsiders I love the complex drama of Pony Boy and the rest of the gang and with that I read the rest of her stuff and it took me to that part of Americana that was considered small town America and I loved it.
- As I got older my moms sister let me read my first Stephen King Novel it was the Shinning and it scared me to death. I loved it an I could not get enough. Then I just stared reading everything from him. That opened me up to the world of the paranormal and led me to Anne Rice and her books from the vampire chronically to the witches of Mayfair legacy.
One of the books that truly changed my life was when I got my little fingers and opened mind on to a copy of Exit to Eden I was bewitched by the world of BDSM. The story of Lisa who fell in love with her submissive I was like wow could that ever happened to a person in real life. So them I was on a search to read more about it and the books that had the greatest impact on my young life was the Story of O. From the first chapter to the end I was hooked I fell in. Love with the story of being one true self of being free to live a life that may not be normal to society but normal to yourself. With the reading of that book it set me on a journey and I journey that has had a profound and interesting fit in my life. So as I close I would parents read to your children encourage their reading. When a child is reading it has open their kinds eye to a world of adventure. I am glad I passed that love on to my children for reading even though my oldest likes urban fiction yuck. But hey you can't win them all.
Have reading.
what an interesting assortment of books you specifically remember :) I've never gotten to the Shining myself. Maybe some day :D
ReplyDeleteI got the memory of a grey elephant
DeleteHave you ever read The Sleeping Beauty series by Anne Rice? I bought it for my mother without being the least bit aware of what it was. My hope was to eventually get her involved in reading The Vampire Chronicles, but SURPRISE! I'd bought mom porn. lol
ReplyDeleteYes I have. Skippy skippy why did you not read the blurb oy. Poor mom, next time read the blurbs..lol but did she like it ?
DeleteI find it comical that you would also list Exit to Eden as one of your books. It was amazing!
