I have been left to answer the question myself. Was there a book that I learn't something whether it is about myself or others? Did it help me make a crucial decision in life? Has there been a book that has come to define my career?
If I was asked this question, I would I have to say that the book that has stuck out most was Matilda by Roald Dahl.
Why?
- Matilda has a love for books, just like me. She likes to spend time in the library, just like me.
- The quest for independence in life.
- As a kid, I could relate to her sense of maturity and thinking.
- Just like me, she was an academic achiever.
I think the book empowers me to overcome the demons that one faces in life, and the difficulties in human relationships, but being able to overcome them.
