The best books we’ve read

What books do you talk about when someone ask you to name books that changed your life?

I had a few of those. There are some I re-read every few years. I read one and it didn’t do what it used to do. It was, underwhelming, to say the least.

Did I outgrow the book? Had the same happened to you too?

Maybe it wasn’t the books. Maybe it was the time you read them. Pick that book up today, and chances are it may not have the same effect it once had on you. Like the line in one book that used to be ‘boring’ and has now become one of my favourites.

Same books. Different resonance.

So what’s the right answer to the question we opened with? There are no right and wrong answers.

Just moments in time. Each book was best for that particular phase.
