What is one book that has changed your life? How?

Gaia Team — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 07:00:35 GMT

Do you remember the first book you ever read? What about the most life-changing? Whether it was the magical world of C.S. Lewis' Narnia Chronicles or the first time you sat down with one of Ken Wilber's books; whether it was Eckhart Tolles' Power of Now or Anne Frank's Diary, we'd love to hear about whose words most powerfully affected you. (And if you can't pick just one, sharing a few is fine. :)

What book are you reading right now?

Gaia Team — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 07:09:58 GMT

Some of us keep our books on our bedside tables; others have a favorite reading nook in the living room; still others keep their business books in a shoulder bag or their novels in a briefcase. Wherever and whenever you chose to read is fine. We're just curious about what it is you're reading. What book are you in the middle of--or what was the last book you read? Are you enjoying it? Might others enjoy it?

Let us know!

What's your favorite bookstore section? Why?

Gaia Team — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 07:00:00 GMT

You've just walked into the bookstore of your dreams. Whether it's a sparkling new warehouse with every recent release on the market, or a tiny, cozy independent shop with a resident cat and a few overstuffed chairs, it's bound to be organized in some way. Where do you go? Philosophy? Psychology? Cooking? Fiction? Travel? Which section do you head to first? And what do you like about it?

Whether or not becoming an author is on your list of goals (and you do have a list, don't you? ;) pretend for a moment that you've been tapped to write a book. What would the title be?

What was your favorite childhood story?

When you were little, what was your favorite story? Was it one of the old Grimm's fairy tales, or a myth of some sort? A fable? A favorite book? Or was it a story from within your family? What captivated you most about it?
