Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon discussion

I just finished Breaking Night: A Memoir of Forgiveness, Survival, and My Journey from Homeless to Harvard by Liz Murray. I thought it was wonderful, and it is going to stick with me for a very long time. After reading books that have this much of an impact on me, I like to sit with them before jumping into something else. For some reason, starting another book almost feels disrespectful in some crazy way. I wondered if anyone else ever feels that way? What books have left such an impression on you?

Those epic kind of books leave you breathless for a while after reading them . I felt that way after reading INHERITANCE CYCLE book four . You don't want to read anything else for a week or two , because your brain is still boggled with the exercise òf reading such an involved text .

Night will be a book that always sticks with me. A short read that gives you a vivid picture of the Holocaust. It took me over 3 years to finish reading it because the subject matter elicited such a strong response.
