The book that changed my life.

I never blogged on this but to be quite honest it would have to be Retellings. It sounds corny and not original but reading James Joyce has really touched me like no other piece of writing has. I will surely be reading Ulysses on my free time this summer as well as finishing The Brothers Karamazov. This book would not have done much for me though without the inspiration of the teacher. Reading the words of Araby became a mix of a dream state of mind with conscious simple thoughts passing through. I have lived with my anxiety and wandering mind my entire life and to see my mind slow down and simply appreciate the one task of painting a mental image of James Joyce's story was inspirational.
