The book sounds quite impressive!micoleon13 wrote:I think the book that resonated the most with me was Born Free by Joy Adamson. Reading about her experiences, also coinsidently in Africa, and her relationship with a rescued lion cub, working with it and then to her ultimate release back to the wild, definitly struck a cord with me from a young age. Ive since gone onto work with wildife rehabilitation in Central America.

I've heard of this book and for some reason have never read it. I'll have to put it on my reading list!MsTri wrote:I don't know that it's the most inspirational, but I dearly love Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven. I often - OFTEN! - wonder if I'm really making a difference on this earth and whether anyone aside from my children's life is positively effected for having known me. This book serves as a reminder that we all inspire others, often without trying, and that SOMEbody is better off for having known us.

- Latest Review: The Inmate by Alan P. Woodruff
I read it when I was about 12 years old and it stuck with me until today. Just the fact that we get to grow up safeguarded from everything that is bad in this world is an enourmous privillege. So I made sure to be grateful for everything I have, since reading that book.

I've read the book and I agree. He was a character that resonated with me too.Fictions Mistress wrote:There are a lot...but The Perks of Being a Wallflower was quite inspirational for me. I relate a lot to the main character, Charlie. It's an indescribable feeling, when you find a character that so deeply resonates with you. He struggles, but he learns how to triumph, and by association you feel that you do too.
