I guess I reaveal a little of myself as well द्वारा making that very statement. after पढ़ना all these जवाब I can help but wonders of the person; their age , values, and even their awareness. I just thought it's interesting....

पढ़ना जवाब

CullenProperty said:
Reality? What is it exactly? My reality compared to your reality, या क्वीन Elizabeth's reality या Simon Cowells reality, is all different. I'm not quite sure what book really changed my perspective on realtiy because all the पुस्तकें that I read या not real; The stories are fake, the characters are fake, the problems are fake. Even if they stemmed from a real person या a real situation, it is all fake so, how do I answer your सवाल without it being superficial?

The कल्पना books, like Twilight and the Immortal series are not good जवाब because they just simply aren't real and aren't realistic. Sad, romance पुस्तकें have changed my perspective on love, in a way, but not so much that I would praise them even more, because, even though प्यार in पुस्तकें seem so much और passionate and real as your पढ़ना them, they aren't. They break my दिल and make me want और in guys that just isn't there. पुस्तकें about sick children, या poverty aren't my greatest subject because I've only read one book about a sick child and that changed my perspective on Cancer and the प्यार between a mother and her daughters, but that's about it. पुस्तकें about suicide have changed my perspective on life; Life is important and it is worth living but it also makes me think that some people who do commit suicide have terrible, horrible lives and the only way they can get out of it is द्वारा killing themselves.

To answer your question, I would say that पुस्तकें really, actually aren't a big reason for changing my perspective on reality because I am around so much telivision, पुस्तकें and फिल्में that are कल्पना based, that real life situations are the best way to change my reality, my life.

Yes your सवाल of reality do hold substance, I’m fully aware reality is relative to each own experience and learning. I’m not sure what genre आप to choose to favor but whichever it may be, it does influence your reality. The fact is when आप read a book, your subconscious doesn’t ask for permission on what to retain, remodel, या strengthen. What आप see before your eyes, (your reality) is shape everyday through what आप do. So yes a book can have major effect on your reality. आप devote a lot और energy into पढ़ना a book . your perspectives are not carved in stone it can be molded, that’s why it’s important to mind what आप choose to read because we all know all पुस्तकें are not made equal.

I प्यार to read & am always पढ़ना & I feel that it does tinker with my perspective on realtiy but I still know what is real from what is obviously not real. There are things; Characteristics, plots, problems and stories that I wish could somehow happen, but I know that it is simply impossible for one to act such a way. I see what your saying that what आप read is never "carved in stone" but it can be to some people.

If पढ़ना didn't tinker with my brain it would not worth my while. I’m aware of my own ignorance and lack of influence of fruitful environment, so I put a lot of faith in my पुस्तकें to reshape the way I think and feel about many things. I don’t absorb everything like a sponge, but each book read left me a mean of been और critical, a new perspective and new sight to see unseen .

Harry Potter has widely broadened my imagination and I've had the urge to be as ब्रेव as Harry since I've read it. Neverwhere broadened my imagination a lot as well. Interview with the Vampire made me view life itself differently, it brought new सवालों to my mind. Dancing on the Edge gave me a whole new perspective on life, and an interest in psychology. The Phantom Tollbooth made me और adventurous, it gave me और of a need to fill in my boredom.

I have always been closely aware of humanity's faults, but these पुस्तकें opened my eyes further to the disgusting nature of man. Reality is a fragile thing, but being oblivious to the abhorant side of it is as much a curse as ignorance. These great examples of literature provided me with sobering inlightenment and rare deliverance.

I like the fact that आप use the word “deliverance” for it’s what I expect when I read a book. I know something is wrong society and the so-called “reality” we’ve been trained to see. That’s what I read a lot classic histories, philosophies, and some fiction, because they are और honest in value and some are the genesis of thoughts that revolutionize the way people think, for example Plato Herodotus etc. Originality live and died with the classics. I read to be wiser than I was at star. I expect to get wisdom to deliver me from darkness of ignorance and myself. That’s why I’m very selective on पुस्तकें I choose to read because I’m not पढ़ना for entertainment, that just side effect of a greater goal.

The "Harry Potter" series really hooked me on reading. Amazing storyline and incredible characters, especially Snape. This is probably what has inspired me to become an लेखक and what made me enjoy writing.

Also, "What Happened to Lani Garver" really just makes आप sit down and think about things. I can't explain it, but I thought of nothing but that book for months afterward. It teaches आप to really look at people for who they are, not what आप expect या perceive them to be and to respect every moment of your life and enjoy it.

If आप ever do find "What Happened to Lani Garver", I cannot even express in words my want for आप to read this book. It is amazing.

thank आप for opening yourself to such extent, I very much appreciate your input. I’m sure most of us can relate to your experience about प्यार and letting go. I myself spent two years feeling sorry for myself after my relationship ended, but it turns out being alone is exactly what I needed. The thing about “heart” is, it’s crowning jewel of being human, at the same time it can be the स्रोत great grieve. Believe it या not what got me over my depression is पढ़ना up on neurophysiology, learning about different aspect of the working brain, synaptic network, plasticity etc. What that did for me was it demystify emotion and place it in the light of fact and logical soundness. Once आप understand the chain of causes behind those “emotion” आप can learn to control it या ignore it. Understand the brain, is freedom, letting go would be easier, rejection would just brush off आप and प्यार will the thing आप give instead of the thing आप fall victim too.

well, i would say "The Book Thief" द्वारा Markus Zusak - it's the story of a young girl during the WWII and, obviously, Holocaust and how this affects her although she's just a child and she's not Hebrew. it is a great story, beautifully written (Zusak is one of the most talented contemporary writers, if आप ask me) and it had a deep impact on me as it completely and irrevocably changed my view on humanity.

obviously i already knew what happened during WWII but पढ़ना the book was like finally letting my thoughts and feeling have their own shape.

i came to realise that men are और than cruel जानवर but also that our so-called superiority and intelligence is just a silly mask we like to wear trying to convince ourselves that we're actually not pure evil...and we aren't because all those acts of kindness during the war prove that this rancour and perverseness in some may reveal the best in others.
but still, the सवाल that troubles me: What if - actually - we're all capable of such horrible, terrible things? -- because, after all, those German soldiers were just like आप and me and not cold-blooded criminals...

anyway 'The Book Thief' definitely changed my view on life द्वारा making me take a closer look at things i thought i knew but didn't actually understand and give the right importance.

Yes the existence of humanity, human behavior, and the essence of good and evil is truly a remarkable topic that has debated for millennia. Most सवाल are left बिना उत्तर rather left shroud of clouds of theories and shortsightedness. The fact that we are all capable of these act of evil, but what keeps us from being tainted? That’s a सवाल that’s been on my mind recently, and I had indeed puzzled me. Civilization itself is a shame, its remains in unstable states that even the slightest push tumble’s it down to chaos and anarchy look at Alexander the great conquest, Xerxes ; these men unites nations, and it only takes the death of one to send millions into chaos. It is a mask wear and we all contributors to that illusion. There are और we are aware of the true nature of things, the brighter the hope for the अगला generation.

"The Forgotten Soldier" द्वारा Guy Sajer. Here's the blurb:

"This devastating first-hand story of a young German soldier trapped in the lethal machinery of total war on the Eastern Front in World War II captures the real experience of modern war in all its shattering terror.

This is one man's story of the bitter, killing cold of the Russian winter, of vicious combat against Russian partisans, and of the carnage of battles against a desperate but merciless Red Army with its mind-numbing artillery attacks and endless waves of infantry and tanks.

पोस्टेड to the crack Grossdeutschland division, with its tough training, the soldier enters a violent and remorseless world that relentlessly destroys any hope and ideals and where all that matters is brute survival fighting a relentless enemy."

Sajer was only 2 years older than I am when he joined the Wermacht, so I found him easy to relate to. पढ़ना about the things he saw and how he dealt with them was truly fascinating.

I think the most inspirational thing about this book is the friendships Sajer manages to forge with the other soldiers, especially another young soldier called Hals. They really stuck together and looked after each other, in a way that is unique to war. I almost envied this relationship, as I realise I can never that kind of friendship.

Also, I found some of the other soldiers really amazing, particularly an older veteran, who sacrificed himself to save the other soldiers in his squad because he felt that he was too mentally damaged to re-enter society.

This book really challenged me and changed my outlook on life - I can honestly say I'm not the same person I was before I read it.

I highly recommend it, especially if आप enjoy history!! :)

Soooo...I can't name just one, but I can name a few. "The Outsiders" by: S.E. Hinton because it made me feel like I wasn't the only one feeling looked down upon like trash, and wanting something और for my life. "Tuck Everlasting" by: Natalie Babbit because it was the book that REALLY made me think about the problem with living forever. "Bridge to Terabithia" by: Katherine Paterson because it was the first book I read that dealt with death in way that was real to me. "Ordinary People" by: Judith Guest and "Girl, Interrupted" by: Susanna Kaysen, and "The Giver" by: Lois Lowry because they all gave me another perspective into the difficulties of assimilating yourself to the realities of the world around you. Lastly, "Anne of Green Gables" by: L.M. Montgomery, because it gave me a wonderful imagination and a dreamer's heart. All of these are also movies, but I'd recommend पढ़ना the पुस्तकें first, cause they're so much better! Out of these my प्रिय at the moment would have to be "Ordinary People."

well first off, पढ़ना in general changed my life in a big way. ive been an avid reader since i was in the 3rd grade. ive read countless पुस्तकें so its kind of hard to single certain ones out as और important than another, because i believe that they have each brought me something different, but i will try.
the hunger games- its a लोकप्रिय pick from what ive seen. it really does make आप reassess what is important in life, the struggle is epic, and the characters are amazing
how i live now- this is a haunting story about a young girl who lives through a traumatic experience and comes out on the other side और changed द्वारा her experience than she ever could have imagined. i would recommend this book to anyone who likes to be kept up thinking deep into the night.
the his dark materials trilogy- these three पुस्तकें are some of the deepest पुस्तकें ive ever read. they are so interesting, and the complexities make it so that even पढ़ना them for the 5th या 6th time, आप can still find something new and compelling to think about. it simultaneously explores a young girl growing up and journeying through many worlds of obstacles to find where she belongs, and subtly explores the religious world, everything from its purest symbolism to its most corrupt corners. can आप tell i like this series?
im running low on time, so ill just throw a few और out there for consideration: the inkworld trilogy, the चाकू of never letting go, and the chronicles of narnia.

Sorry, AnnaKay19, but I thought that "How I live Now" was perhaps one of the worst पुस्तकें I have ever had the misfortune to read :/

Hey. Hmmmm...books that have really changed my perspective of reality...? Perhaps Twilight, Harry Potter...and many more. But something that I have discovered recently which has completely changed my view on LIFE, and I'm not sure if आप could say reality...perhaps my view of everyday life, which seems similiar to me. This includes a book called "Dear John" द्वारा Nicholas Sparks, which I was so stunned by, and I have also read "Private Peaceful" द्वारा Michael Mopurgo which I found absolutely amazing, and I couldn't help but feel very lucky for what I have and what I do not have to watch. द्वारा this, I mean like people dying before your eyes, people being blown apart before your eyes...etc, etc. If आप ever read something which is in first person and about a soldier in war - whichever war that may be - I think that perhaps आप could completely relate to what I am saying. Thanks :D
