Life Changing

Every once in a while a book will fall into your hands; a book that ends up as more than just a good read. This book will literally change your life. You will never be able to read another book and say much more than "it was good". Books will simply become entertainement, like television, and this one book will become something much more. It will be what you wish you could write, it will be the book that outshines all others, and it will captivate and engage you like no other.

There are a few books in my life that have affected me this way...some much more than others. So in order, here is a list of books that changed my life.
1. The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer
2. The Chanters Of Tremaris Trilogy by Kate Constable
The Twilight series, mostly the debut novel Twilight, is my absolute favorite collection of books. Ever. And I recommend that everyone, mostly girls, needs to read in their life ... and soon. The new book is set to come out August 2008 (this year!!) and the movie for Twilight is coming out this year as well. Though most movies demolish the books, I feel like they might succeed with this one, and even if they don't I have to make myself see it ... it's Twilight!
My only advice for reading this saga is this: 1. DO NOT let anyone EVER tell you about the book. 2. Make sure you have prolonged periods of time in which to read, it makes the experience so much more worth it. And 3. if you have the chance and the books read them all back to back in order with not other literary interuptions.
I suppose this advice applies to most books, but these books deserve so much more.
Sorry for the short entries as of late. I'll kick it up a notch next time!
