Books We Love




Driving in the car yesterday I saw a forest and it reminded me of a book I had read, a favorite book, that had an elaborate plot that led the two main characters into a forest. This was a survival novel that dealt with making it through life using knowledge and savvy. Some knowledge turned out to be useless but some knowledge was critical. The name of the book? Into the Forest of course. It has been years since I read it but the ideas still come to me and have a place in my life.

My question to you – name a book that has had a big impact on you, perhaps on the way that you think, or the ideas that were presented changed you in some way and that has stuck with you over time. Tell the name of the book and the impact it had.
