Most Influencial Books

1. One of the most important books I have ever read was The Lorax by Dr. Seuss. I consider it as the most influential book I have ever read because this book is the reason why I grew to love reading and why I was reading at college level in third grade.
2. Now this book has been in my heart since I finished it because it was the first book that evoked such strong emotions. Where the Red Fern Grows was the first book to show me that books are indeed powerful and capable of having a similar effect of television with just words.
3. Last but not least I have Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. This was the very first book of its kind, by that I mean it takes place in the 1700s or so, that I read. I use to watch the movies with my dad and I would fall asleep so I never dared to go near a similar book. Ironically, I have read this book over and over again. This book took me into an era of beautiful gowns and jewelry that also consisted of a twisted and unfair society. It was one of the first times in which I learned the past oppressed roles of women in history. I was shocked to learn that women have not always been treated like Princess' and Queens!
