Todays topic is -- Have you ever read a book that inspired you to take up a cause? What book was it and what was/is the cause?
If you are talking about charitable or humanitarian causes, I would have to say no because I don't read those sorts of books. I do read lots of history and historical fiction and I would say that those books -- can't really pick one out -- have lead me to be even more interested in history. I read a lot of culturally religious things (Amish fiction, for instance) which makes me curious so I end up doing research on that and anything that will trip my genealogical trigger will set me off on a genealogical quest.

I don't read much historical fiction, but do love Amish fiction.
I am not sure cause inspiring is the sort of book I read either.
I feel so shallow...lol
I used to read "inspiring" books back in the '60s and '70s - I was much more into political and social causes back then. These days, I just want a good story. And not too many pages.
