30 Days of Truth Challenge : Day 17

Day 17

A book you've read that changed your view on something.

This is a moment where I wish I could say the scriptures, not that they necessarily changed my view on anything, more that they would have affirmed my views on everything. But, alas, I have not actually "read" the scriptures. I did most of the reading through seminary and institute, and I try to keep up with the Sunday School Lessons, but I still haven't really read any of them from one cover to the other. I'm just not a big reader, but I'm hoping to change that. I have a new goal for myself. To read all the scriptures, from cover to cover. I haven't set a time frame yet, but I'm looking to be done around about this next summer.

As for the rest of the books I've read in my life, none stick out as one that changed my views on anything. Again, not a big reader.

Recently, I've been doing a lot more reading. Mainly because I needed something intelectual to stimulate my brain. Learning your colors, ABC's and 123's doesn't help much if you already learned them. And my kids are still learning how to correctly pronounce most of their words, so my everyday conversations are mostly spent translating jibberish.

I hope to have a few more books added to my list by the end of the year, but the biggest one is still the scriptures.
