Which book that you have read has had the biggest impact on your life? For me it has to be the Diary of Anne Frank, I read it when I was a teenager about the same age as Anne and I could understand what she was going through at that time in her life. The thought of being shut away in a tiny room and missing out on all the fun that teenagers have was such a horrendous thing for her and her family to have to go through.
I would love to visit the house where this all took place but I should have done that before my sci as it would not be very wheelchair friendly. Even now Id watch anything about Anne Frank with great interest.
I think I,d rather be a para than be in hiding.

Only after we have lost everything, are we free to do anything.

Seemingly, "support" is very "serious" and you should never have a thought of your own..... My Blog

The latest book I read was Spontaneous Evolution. It's been very helpful in changing my life (which desperately needs changing as I'm still struggling with a great deal of depression).

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity."

Blue Sky July.
Follows the story of a mother whose child suffers a devastating brain injury. (There's a little boy who is mentioned in there called Jac who has cerebral palsy and is a very good friend of mine's son.) A very moving book.
