I think the book that had the most impact on my life was Illusions by Richard Bach. I read it when I was a teenager and it changed the entire way that I look at the world. It was the first book that caused me to question my reality and what was possible. In the book, there is a man who has an incredible gift – one that many believe to be impossible for humans to have. While reading it, I kept thinking… “Is this possible? Is it true?” and that made me second guess my entire definition of things and opened that crack in the doorway of perception.

The Holy Bible has had the greatest impact. I’ve read it from front to back, it’s full of amazing stories and some great wisdom for life. Vered, I too loved Crime and Punishment, it takes you right into the human psyche under incredible guilt.

Oh gosh that is so hard to answer. Honestly I will have to say Eat Pray Love. It's not the best piece of literature out there...but it was such a great story. I felt like I identified with so many things she spoke about. I also wanted to open myself up spiritually like she did. And I did! So if anything, this was a precipice to my spiritual awakening...

Hi Tess .. well that’s asking a question .. I was an avid reader as a child .. started with the fairy storys – Brothers Grimm .. Rumpelstiltskin, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, and The Frog Prince: I’d forgotten they all came via the brothers! The Water Babies .. then onto the Angeliques of this world, then the detective novel era for me Agatha Christies, Ngaio Marsh, etc then the thrillers, and so on ..

The personal development books, I love the entrepreneurial biographies .. and now quite honestly I read Wikipedia rather too avidly .. but then I extract so much wonderful information that I had absolutely no idea about .. and due to my blog I am reading and learning so much than I ever would if I hadn’t started it .. I have masses of reference books anyway ..

& The Diving Bell and the Butterfly; Thoughts in a Makeshift Mortuary – so African, so evocative!!; Longitude; etc etc

the world of books is our oyster – pearls of wisdom – I’d love to be able to read more and whole books – but my time will come again ..

Thanks Tess – it’ll be great to see everyone’s list ..

Oh my goodness. The King James Bible. And "The Long Winter" in the Laura Ingalls Wilder series. It makes me appreciate every morsel of food that I'm lucky enough to partake of . You know they had nothing to eat but wheat for 2 whole long months that winter? It just humbles me to no end at the bounty that is before me every day.

Every book I’ve read has hugely impacted my life — always in different ways, revealing a new layer that was ready to be exposed.
Most recently it was an author Tess recommended, Byron Katie. I’m reading “A Thousand Names for Joy” now, but last week finished “Loving What Is.” I finished it on the plane to a big family wedding, where that book allowed me to actually enjoy myself and my family… EXACTLY AS THEY (and I) ARE. Wow!

Thanks again, Tess. Amazing recommendation and the layer it exposed was so necessary this past weekend.

With joy & gratitude,
Megan
