I met Doc Brown in Vancouver. He inspired me.
I don't know any of those authors. I would vote J R R Tolkien, again.
My heart feels warm when reading your page. It's like when I view a sunset or a baby giggling makes me feel an uninterpretive view. Your work reminds me of the wonderfully inspiring book, I Heard God Laughing wrote by Daniel Ladinsky. You should check it out. Namaste, J
What if your life was affected by none of those authors but a different one or ones?
Stephanie Meyer?!? As in tweeny fandom? You jest...
There were several authors on this list that have profoundly impacted my life. It was hard to choose just one.
Who wrote J.K.K. Tolkien?? :P
It's between John and Stephen- although J.K. Rowling got me interested in reading. :)
I'll be honest, Lemony Snicket. He doesn't sugar coat his words and is honest about it. Especially when it comes to life-learned lessons. I've learned about from it.
Why do you make me chooooose?! TT^TTAnne McCaffery is awesome when I can read and understand the books when young and yet go back when older and read and understand the higher level words better and the things hinted at that I missed when younger.
J.K. Rowling got me started on actual written books and not just picture books so she is AWESOME. She also made me hungry for books of wizards and magic and dragons! >.
And Tamora Peirce is someone I look up to a lot! o.o I love pretty much ALL her books and read all I could get my hands on, and she so inspired me in the different kinds of magics out there like craft magic or wild magic! And her awesome strong heroines and female characters are a true inspiration! xD
And Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is AWESOME with his Sherlock Holmes stories! Awesome protagonist and I love how he solves mysteries!
Thought I'd be able to vote for more than one, so please don't think my choice reflects the most profound choices from the list. Thanks.
Thanks for Your Posting article Please keep Posting, Bodhih is The Best Corporate Training Companies in India.Thanks for your article posting please keep posting Behavioural Skills Training
A GR friend invited me to vote on this poll.There are authors on the list whose work i have enjoyed greatly and would recommend to others BUT i cannot say that any affected my life profoundly.
And a QUESTION: Is Jane Eyre an author???
That name is on the list but the only Jane Eyre i know of is a fictional character. Perhaps the creator of the poll was thinking of Charlotte Bronte.
Authors that have enriched my life are as follows: LM Montgomery, Jane Austen, Francine Rivers, Jill Eileen Smith, CS Lewis, Elisabeth Elliot, Dale Evans Rogers, Bob Goff, Alex & Brett Harris, Terri Irwin, and Lysa Terkeurst.
Thoreau's Walden influenced me to change my priorities.
The Fault in our Stars literally changed my life! It's a long and confusing explaination but I am a better human for reading John Green's work.
Barb wrote: "Thoreau's Walden influenced me to change my priorities."Walden also influenced me.
everything in my favorites shelf was genuinely life transforming
I read The Diary of a Young Girl in 7th grade and immediately felt less alone in the world. Knowing that someone I may never meet, seventy years later, could feel understood through my writing the way I did through Anne's words, inspires me to keep writing. It breaks my heart to know how much more she could have accomplished if not for the hatred that killed her and millions more.
