Book and their consequences.

I really despise it when people come up to you and say how you absolutely must read a certain book as it completely changed their life. Bunk. I do not worship a book, and shame on you for believing one book or author has the secrets of the universe in their hand.

Alright, now that my rant is over, I can really see how people might get to that stage. I recently read a book regarding a missionary in Japan. It was very inspirational and, to some extent, "life changing." I would not, however, trumpet the book to be the savior of all mankind. To my friends and enemies who would tell me how I have to read this or that book, please.....please please please refrain. You may recommend, and encourage, but any further encroachment will leave me no other choice but to get the dogs.
