Books That Have Influenced Me

I've read many different books that have influenced me in many different ways, but there are a few books that have really meant a lot to me.

The Chronicles of Narnia series is a major book series for me. This was the first series I read all by myself as a child, and I read each book over and over again. The series really helped me learn to love to read, and they helped me bring out my imagination even further. I think that it's also exciting to see how these books are currently being adapted into a series of movies as well, so it's fun to look at the books and then see how different the movies are compared to what I would have imagined.

The Da Vinci Code is another major book in my life. I had hit a moment in my life where I didn't really want to read anymore, and then I picked up this book. It completely blew me away, and kept me up way too late on many nights. I also find it fascinating when an idea and belief is challenged, but in a harmless way. I remember when it came out so many people were outraged, but I really felt that that is what helps make something so much better.

Nature Girl, even though it may not seem like a very influential book, was very helpful for me because it was a good book to use as an example of a book that lets you completely forget about the world around you. Sometimes I know I forget to read just for fun, or I can't find a good book that will make me laugh out extremely loud, and this book gave me a lot of hope. I hadn't had as much fun getting lost in a book as much as I have with this one.
