I've read a lot of books in my lifetime, but if I had to choose the three most influential, they would be the following: Tuesday's With Morrie, Romeo & Juliet, and The Color Purple. First off, Tuesday's with Morrie influenced me to live life in the now and make the most out of life. The young man in the story was consumed by his job and money and was therefore wasting away his life and pushing away his loved ones. The old man, Morrie taught him valuable lessons about life and I learned a lot as well. The second book, Romeo & Juliet was influential to me because it was the greatest love story I have every read. It tells the tale of two lovers who were truly in love. The last story, The Color Purple, was about black people before the civil rights movement and it was important to me because it showed the impact that racism has on victims and also how hard things were for them in the old days.
