I would say that this is the most simple, yet impacting books I have ever read. It was the first book I ever read on my own. I remember sitting with my aunt for hours and hours sounding out every syllable, crinkling every page. And finally, I learned to read it all by myself. I associate this book with so many of my childhood memories. It is most impacting because without it, I wouldn't have read any other books.
2. The Bible, preferably in the message translation. Being raised in a Christian home, this book contains everything that my parents have spent the last 18 years instilling into myself and my brothers. My core values, convictions, and the foundational truths I stand on all come from the words and ideas expressed in the Bible. This is my "how to" book on life.
I recently finished reading this book on my Kindle, and I have not laughed this hard in quite a while. The people at Starbucks obviously hadn't read this satirical, sarcastic and hilariously crafted synopsis of Tina Fey's life, because they sent me judgemental "shut up" glances as I giggled and gasped page after page. I would say this book was impacting to me because it inspires me. I see Tina Fey as a role model, someone I can relate to. A girl with a killer sense of humor, leadership abilities and a knack for finding herself in awkward and embarassing situations. I loved every moment of this book and can definitely see myself reading it again and again, and laughing every time. see for yourself!
Tina Fey's book sounds wonderful. Dr. Seuss rocks!
