I recently read Lee Thomas' "The Dust of Wonderland", which totally blew my mind. Has become one of my all-time favorite books.
ReplyDeleteA short story that left a lasting impression was written by Richard Christian Matheson entitled "Red". I first read "Red" back in 1990, and I remember it as if I had read it this morning. It's only two pages long, but after I finished it, I had to put the book down and walk away. It packs an emotional wallop.
Ooooh i have always wanted to read I Am Legend! Thanks for the giveaway!

One book that made a deep impression on me and which I still consider a classic is To Kill A Mockingbird.
Thanks for the giveaway.

The "Catcher in the Rye" is one of my favorite books and it made an impression on me at an early age because of the perspective it gave me. No matter how badly things may have felt to me as a teenager, Holden Caulfield always had it worse.

ReplyDeleteThe Children of the Dust by Louise Lawrence left a lasting impression on me. I liked how it portrayed the after effects of a nuclear disaster.

Many books make an impression on me. Although I don`t read YA books often, I found The Hunger Games really make an impression on me. It would be a hard life for children and teenagers.
ReplyDeleteHatchet also made a big impression on me when I was reading in Jr.High.

_Soul Music_ by Terry Pratchett made SUCH an impression on me. I hadn't been taken by _The Colour of Magic_, but a friend told me I had simply read the wrong book.
ReplyDeleteHe was right. _Soul Music_ absolutely hooked me. It made me see for the first time that SF/F could be funny, intelligent, heartbreaking, and uplifting all at once. Before, I'd never really read SF/F - my parents didn't really approve of it, and I'd always read "the classics" and "literary fiction" instead. Getting this book, and getting into this book, as a freshman in college completely changed my outlook on fiction, got me into SF/F in a big way, and in doing so, completely changed the course of my literary life. I mean, I went from turning up my nose at SF/F to being a SF/F publisher. Go figure.
Plus, it made me a huge Terry Pratchett fan. So hey, win-win.
(you can reach me at info AT candlemarkandgleam DOT com as needed; MAN, but I love _I Am Legend_, and it boggles my mind that I don't own a copy. Especially considering that I own all three movie adaptations)
I read The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood this year and I can't stop thinking about it.

I recently read Dead Witch Walking and it was really neat because of all the different characters and types of paranormal creatures it portrayed.
+1. I am Legend did make an impression on me. I really enjoyed the movie and would love to read the book. It really touched me how he sacrificed his life for a chance for a future for humankind. Awesome.

There is a story by Arthur Machen called the Horla.
ReplyDeleteIt really scared the crap out of me, forever cementing my love of horror!
I guess the book that shaped my life was Flowers in the Attic. It was the first time I found a book that would keep me up all night.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.

One book that made an impression on me was Stephen King's The Stand. The thing about the book is, it's not so far away from possible.

Dracula was a book that left the biggest impression on me. I read it as a teen and changed my reading forever. I'd always loved vamps but when I was young it was soap or cola drinking ones I read about. This was my first blood thirsty monster and I loved it.
ReplyDeleteOld foller.
