Which books did you pick? Another two books that has me working hard on me is called The Four Agreements and The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz. The ideas are so simple but so difficult because of the simplicity. If you check them out, email me and let me know what you think. Mo

I loved your blog and it made me think of five books that changed my life. That in itself created a revelation. Here are my 5: (1) They Came In Chains, I don’t remember the author but it taught me that the American black slaves was not accepting of their enslavement the way most” history” books betray them. Made me lift my head a little higher. (2) The Lensmen Series by E.E. Doc Smith. A set of sci fi books that was so fantastic to me that I wanted a lens and to be a part of the Galactic Patrol and I was a grown woman. (3) Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein. I was in love with Micheal Valentine Smith and wanted him to think my clothes off and “grok” me. and that wasn’t even sexual. (4) Kryon by Lee Carroll. A book on spiritual channelling and some universal truths. (5) The Pearl also because it introduced me erotic literature that rang my chimes. l’ve been reading some form of erotica ever since I first picked it up in 1965. Mo

Grin. Yeah I do have books that I do just as you said, Shelli: read and move on. However, I have only read each of the above books once and they influenced me to a point that I shall always remember them.

Maybe someday I will reread them.

Oh I honestly couldn’t say. Most books I read affect me. I read to enjoy and move on….I’m never one of those people who hold onto a book forever and re-read them. I know that’s wrong, maybe? Maybe if I thought long and hard about it I could come up with one…hmm.
