This book was such a catalyst for my life.

I read it when I was 15 and it made me obsessed with poisons. OBSESSED.

Then, I read every single Christie book where there was a poison. Then, I read a book about chemical explanations behind poisons Christie used.

Then, I wrote a play in school about Christie working as a witch selling poisons and I fan inserted myself into it as her assistant. The only fan-fiction I ever wrote.

I chose my high school subjects based on it. This book was referenced in detail in my university application essay. I chose my degree based on it.

This one book dictated the next ten years of my life, it’s crazy to think about.

Hi all. I wanted to ask what your sign is and which book you would say exemplifies that sign?

For me: I am a Pisces ♓️ and I would say that The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath reflects my sign the most.

I recently found a free Audiobook version on Spotify! It is by The Lit English English Lit Podcast. I quite like the narrator's voice =) On Spotify you usually have to pay for the Audiobooks even if you have a Premium and can only listen to a certain amount of hours. This podcast has other classics too but I haven't checked them yet.

So I saw that Christopher Nolan is directing an adaptation of The Odyssey. I’ve never read it, but curious to what other folks’ thoughts are?
