From time to time I tend to wonder and think what I would be like if literature was not a big part of my life. Who would I be if I wasn't influenced by the words of authors like Maya Angelou and Chinua Achebe? Would my imagination be as great if I hadn't read The Hobbit or Alice in Wonderland? For me reading is a window to another world, a different way of thinking and has made me into the person that I am; it has shaped how I think and respond to different situations. Reading helps me shut my brain off for a few hours so my body can relax and distress from the day or the week. Reading is who I am. Reading is a part of my soul and without it...life would be hell as the quote states.
How has reading impacted you? In what ways has reading shaped who you are?
