The first time I remember reading a book to completion, I was 11 and it was in French and titled ‘Les malheurs de Sophie’. I remember my curiosity taking over and time flying by. I was experiencing the feeling every reader knows too well, of being lost in a universe unlike your own and time seemingly stopping in this life as you dive into another world. I have read multiple books ever since, and my love for reading has fallen and risen depending on my life circumstances but the impact reading has had on me is palpable. It increased my ability to express myself, my level of empathy for situations that I’ve never lived, my factual knowledge of the world, and last but not least, my overall appreciation of the world. Reading, for me, has always been a path to a better quality of life. Here are three books that most impacted my point of view as a reader and why you should read them too.
