But Visioneering - Andy Stanley has changed livesDo you measure an book by how much it changes the life of it%26039;s readers or how many people read it.?
neither, really. It depends on how well the book is written, how good the plot is, and if it captures my attention. I've read Harry Potter the first book, and i didn't really like it. I've also read Twilight, and i thought it didn't deserve the attention that it got. Better books deserve to be as famous as Twilight or Harry Potter, but people just don't seem to recognize them.
haven't read visioneering, but the title sounds interesting, so i might check it out.Do you measure an book by how much it changes the life of it%26039;s readers or how many people read it.?
Changes life. Do you know that nearly all popular books are popular because of the advertisement? Of course the one that has changes life are better. Not all popular books are better that the unpopular ones.Do you measure an book by how much it changes the life of it%26039;s readers or how many people read it.?

Obviously how much it changes lives.
People write literature to make contact with their readers. Literature is from the inspiration of writing and wanting to express your feelings and thoughts. So what use is it, writing a book which everyone has read yet doesnt make an impression on them?
its like listening to a piece of music which you are impartial to, it has no purpose.
So if someone has written a book which is read internationally, yet hasnt changed lives, then the sort of cause for the book is lost.
HOWEVER, it does depend on what the author wants and what purpose they want their literature to serve. If an author just wants to share a story that they have written without caring about whether it will make an impression on the reader, then that's ok, however, as a standalone piece of literature, there is no purpose or substance to it - which is fine if the writer doesnt want that, but not fine when you compare it to other works out there that people read in which people take something from it.
so basically, you should measure a book on how much it changes people, because as I said, if it doesnt make an impression on the reader, what is the point in reading it? Why listen to a piece of music if it doesnt make you feel something? It just loses purpose.Do you measure an book by how much it changes the life of it%26039;s readers or how many people read it.?
Neither, I judge a book on how it affects me. People will always read what they want between the lines of any book and make their own judgement on what the author was %26quot;trying to say%26quot;.
I will measure a book on how much it entertains me, moves me and educates me :)Do you measure an book by how much it changes the life of it%26039;s readers or how many people read it.?

I think it's wrong to say that JK Rowling or anyone else hasn't changed lives, we can only speak for ourselves.
There are some books written with the very purpose of changing lives, some books so extraordinary that people are forever changed after reading them and there are other books which simply bring pleasure and joy to people, and one would be on very shaky ground underestimating the effect the last has on lives.
My personal experience is that over a period of many years Terry Pratchett books have been of more use to me in fighting depression than anything the doctor ever gave me.
All books change us a little, tens of millions of people have read the Harry Potter books, who is to say that a tiny change for the happier in all those millions is any less valuable than a considerably smaller group of people being more profoundly changed by another book?Do you measure an book by how much it changes the life of it%26039;s readers or how many people read it.?
JK Rowling has changed a lot of people's lives, she does a great deal of charity work. If few people read a book it has the chance to change few lives. What you need is a book worth reading that will reach a lot of people.
There's no apostrophe in its by the way.
