Dollface23 commented on a post from the Pagebound Club forum
My friend who's doing a PhD in computer science was talking about determinism last night and it got me thinking about the ways that books I have picked up have changed my life by influencing by decisions or leading me down years-long rabbit holes.
This doesn't have to be as dramatic as it sounds in the title. It could even be a book that spawned a decision to take a trip which you will always remember or made you bond with someone who became a close friend!
I also know that there are probably so many books that have changed my life without me knowing. For me the one that sticks out is this picture book I had as a little girl called To Be A Princess. It was about princesses from history all across the world and definitely sparked an interest in history for me. There was a section on the Romanov sisters and their assassination (dark material for a 6-year-old but I'm tough). I'm pretty sure I can trace my obsession with Russia (and therefore my choice in PhD topic) back to this book. I wonder who I would be if I hadn't read it?
