What book did it for you?

by Lin Churchill
11th April 2012

Have you ever read a book which touched something inside you that should be buried deep enough to be beyond reach. A book that left you seeing everything around you differently because it has exposed an inner depth you didn't know you held. Then, horrors of horrors you understand you will never ever be able to set words to paper that will make another human feel the way that book has made you feel.

I have just finished reading DH Lawrence, Women in Love.

I don't think I'm ever going to recover from it.

Aha! You've finally put into words how certain books make me feel, I could never begin to describe it, so I could never ask people if they felt the same!! Yes, I have felt that way, quite a few books have done it for me. Women in Love, I'll have to check that book out!
