Books Saved My Life
~ Books saved my life. Plural. You didn't read that wrong, I don't mean I read one specific piece and had some sort of instant connection or epiphany. No the moment I was able to understand words strung together in sentences, I read ferociously. I read unapologetically. Anything I could get my hands on. I still do. And they've all meant something to me–escape.

Adolescent Odyssey
I don’t remember the first book I ever read, but the first one I recall having read to me was a favourite of my mother. Coincidentally, it’s a favourite of mine, though I think we’ll skip the philosophical discussion about indoctrination for another time. The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien, is a wonderful book, but not the one I want to talk about today.

THE MAN OF GREAT RESILIENCE
“Man’s Search for Meaning” is a seminal work by Viktor E. Frankl that delves into the profound human quest for purpose and significance, particularly in the face of adversity. The book is a testament to Frankl’s experiences as a Holocaust survivor and a psychiatrist, and it presents a unique perspective on the nature of suffering, resilience, and the pursuit of meaning in life.

WONDERLAND
For my seventh birthday my parents gave me the Lewis Carroll books and I have been a Lewis Carroll fan ever since and in turn, I have been giving these books to other children of the family to enjoy, when they are on the brink of learning to read. The stories opened my mind to a myriad of possibilities, and I knew that they would do the same for them...

The Holy Bible
"With seven billion copies printed and sold, the Holy Bible is the most popular and commercially successful book in the entire history of literature. It is, in fact, a collection of books that describe the creation and history of the world, and a religious guide to spirituality, faith, and hope."

AMAZON
Nature isn't just a destination; it's our very own home. It encompasses everything we observe—the vanishing creatures like animals and insects that masterfully blend into their surroundings using disguises, tricks, and temptations. Nature also encompasses everything we hear—the majestic call of an eagle, the whispering hiss of ocean spray, the commanding rumble of thunder, the rhythmic sound of a cricket. This breathtaking beauty extends to the delicate bond between animal life and their environment, a relationship that shapes the world of the wild. The Amazon rainforest sprawls across nine nations and spans over five and a half million square kilometers, earning the title of the largest rainforest on Earth and one of its most diverse realms.

To Kill a Mockingbird: Illuminating Hearts and Minds through Transformation
In the realm of literature, there exists a rare breed of book that transcends its pages to touch the depths of our souls, leaving an indelible mark that lingers long after the final sentence. Harper Lee's masterpiece, "To Kill a Mockingbird," is undeniably one such treasure—a work that beckons readers with its eloquence and captivates them with its narrative prowess, only to ultimately stir a profound transformation within. Published in 1960, this novel isn't merely a story; it's an experience—an emotional journey that unveils the complexities of humanity, challenges our perceptions, and invites us to confront the shadows within ourselves. For me, "To Kill a Mockingbird" was more than a book; it was a guide through the labyrinth of life, a mirror reflecting my own growth, and a beacon of hope that continues to illuminate my path.

Divine Inspiration Via Philip K. Dick
"The Divine Invasion" by Philip K. Dick is actually a sequel to another PKD book called "Valis." The Divine Invasion is structured with a traditional, science-fiction narrative, while Valis is (definitely) not. Valis, while having a plot, is (in my opinion) a book length series of deeply fascinating, creative, inspired and psychotic journal entries. The entire length of Valis includes philosophy, mysticism, psychology, mythology and religious insights and extrapolation, from any (and every) source. Overall, Philip K. Dick called this wealth of knowledge his "Exegesis." The total Exegesis itself is approximately 8,00o pages. I'd encourage you to read Valis if you want to enter a rabbit hole and then never come back. I'm still in there myself.
