There isn't a book that has changed me, but I have favourites such as 'Pride and Prejudice' which I often re-read.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up reading 'Sense and Sensibility' and 'Pride and Prejudice' - girly kind of books.
'Pride and Prejudice' - perhaps more than any other Jane Austen book - is engrained in our literary consciousness.
When I was a child I devoured every book I could get my hands on. I loved losing myself in colourful and dramatic stories - and my absolute favourite was 'Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.' Everything about it electrified me, and when I re-read Roald Dahl's books as an adult it surprised me.
I don't often reread my own books, unless I am going into another in the series and need to refresh my mood when originating the concept.
My favorite book is 'To Kill A Mockingbird' by Harper Lee. It is multi-layered, and I see something new in it every time I read it.
I've always loved books by the Bronte sisters. I love Jane Austen, too. I'm more influenced by people like her than by pop culture.
I remember, when I was a teenager, 'Pride And Prejudice' came out. We hadn't had a period drama for ages, and were all glued to it, and for the next three years, Jane Austen series were being made.
My first book was the book that changed my life.
What's my favourite book? It changes all the time.
I love 'To Kill A Mockingbird' - it seems to offer up new layers every time you read it. I also love Kate Atkinson's 'Behind The Scenes At The Museum' - that's the book that started me writing.
