This is a part discussion, part recommendation thread! I frequently come across threads and comments all over the internet discussing this very topic for a variety of mediums, but people have a habit of either straight up spoiling the 'story' (of said game/media/book/etc) for the poor guys who stumble upon the comment, or being too vague as to not get other people interested in trying said story. I'll be honest, I have read a lot of stinkers of books lately, and I'm looking for a pallette cleanser (and hopefully, other people can find this thread useful, too ::blush)

  1. Has there been one or more books you have read that has affected during or after you have finished reading it? For example, did it leave you feeling empty for a period of time, or did it leave such a positive impact that it changed the way you lived your life? (I.E: Was the author successful in getting you very invested in their story?)
  2. Are you able to get into detail about how/why it left such an impact without spoiling it? You don't have to get into details if you don't want to, being vague is good enough! ::agree
  3. Is it a book you would be able or willing to recommend to a stranger, a friend, and someone close to you?
  4. This is more of an extension of #3, but is the book accessible to everyone, or does it have a trait/characteristic that makes it more of an acquired taste or only accessible to college level readers? Is there a characteristic that makes enjoyment or important details in said book untranslatable?
  5. Has the author published any other works you liked and enjoyed, even if it wasn't as good as the one you specified?
  6. This is a miscellaneous prompt! Add anything you would like to! ::biggrin
