A good book tends to do two things in unequal measure:<\/p>\n
It makes you think.<\/p>\n
It makes you feel.<\/p>\n
It’s the latter I want to ask about today.<\/p>\n
Tell us about a book that made you feel<\/em> something. That affected you deeply.<\/p>\n Tell us what it is, by whom, and how-slash-why it affected you.<\/p>\n To pause for a moment and to define “affected” — I don’t mean something glib like, “It bored me.” Yes, that’s technically an effect, but not what I mean. I mean a book that cut deep. That made you feel griefstruck or giddy, that somehow birthed in you an emotion or effect not normally expected. A book that punches hard. A book that leaves scars or tattoos, big or small. That broke your heart, or maybe mended it.<\/p>\n I’ll hang up and wait for your call.<\/p>\n NO CARRIER<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A good book tends to do two things in unequal measure: It makes you think.
