1. What book brought out your emotions and why? My number one answer will always be the Bible for many reasons. It has been the number one book throughout my lifetime.
The B-I-B-L-E,
Yes that’s the book for me;
I stand alone on the Word of God,
The B-I-B-L-E.
There are also many other books I have read that have brought out my emotions for different ways. My childhood favorites were Charolette's Web, The Little House in the Prairie series, Little Women and Trixie Belden mysteries. Gone with the Wind has been my favorite since my teens. I think because my mom took me to see it and let me read her book which I have to this day. I got to experience, history, and romance while reading it. I have read it 7 times!
2. How has reading changed your life both for good and for bad? What you get out of it? I spent hours reading, in the car, while eating, in the bath, and in bed. Nothing wrong with reading unless it takes away from things that have to be done like cleaning your room or homework. It did not take away from my playing time. I loved to be outside when I was young. I found the joy of reading in 4th grade.
Before I recommitted my life to God, I went through a period of reading historical fiction and romance. One of those was the Clan of the Cave Bear and a couple of more. They were so interesting but had some sex things in it that was a bit much!
3. What character(s) do you love, and which do you hate and why? I can't say that I hate any specific character. Almost every book has the bad guy/girl. I think the scariest book I read was called The Oath by Frank Peretti. It was about the spiritual forces of good and evil. I also read This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness by Peretti.
4. What book or books do you think everyone should read once in their lifetime? Well, the Bible of course! I think people should read books that interest them. Once I started back to church, I mainly read Christian historical books. Here is a sample of the books I read on a webpage I made years ago.
