 Which book or movie impacted you most growing up?

  1. Maya Angelou's "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings." I read it in junior high when I felt like a typical trapped teen. We watched "The Wizard of Oz" every year on TV. It's not my favorite movie, but the ritual of gathering all the kids to watch it was fun. When I was older, Christopher Reeve (before he was Superman) and Jane Seymour were in "Somewhere in Time." That's my favorite movie about time travel and lost love. Hubs and I spent 3 hours talking about it after the movie. Linda in Kansas

  2. None. My life's experiences impacted me the most. Not someone else's life.

    Have a fabulous day and week. ♥

  5. Oh, my, I read so much as a child my mother would actually tell me to put away the books and go outside to play. I loved books. One that comes to mind is a biography of Amelia Earhart. I read Nancy Drew, a whole series of biographies. I remember our small town library was quite small and I just would go through shelf by shelf. The one book I didn't get into was Anne of Green Gables, my mother's favorite childhood book. It was a spot of tension between us I think.

  7. No one could get me to put the books down, mostly children's classics and lots of those "Weekly Reader Book Club) books.

  8. I can't remember being inspired by any, I mostly read to get lost in other worlds, often putting myself in the part of one or another character.

  9. King Solomon's Mines (1951) Stewart Granger, Deborah Kerr. Many different books. I usually went through 4 or 5 a week-- aside from school requirements.
