So on this last day of high school, I decided that you cannot just choose one favorite book. Yes, there have been many books that have changed me, none that I would say have changed my life. I personally have not had that connection yet in life with a book that has influenced me that strongly. However, if I had to choose one book that has had a great impact on me it would be "The God of Small Things". I personally feel like this book has changed me because it has opened a new world of culture to me. Culture that I would normally not particularly think about, or know anything about. In "God of Small Things" culture is such an important aspect of the novel. It is as if you cannot read the novel without learning something new about the families culture. This is the part that I enjoyed the most. I loved learning something that I normally might not of been interested in. Therefore, " The God of Small Things" is the novel that I choose that has influenced me and my lifestyle.
God Of Small Things was a life changing book. You could really connect with the characters in the novel. I enjoyed reading it and hope to find more books like it in the future.

I definitely agree, GOST was one of only several school required novels I absolutely loved. I could read it over and over again

I agree that it is really hard to choose just one book, but God of Small Things is a great book to choose. It has changed the way I think about somethings, even though like you said it didn't actually change me life.
