Pay It Forward by Catherine Ryan Hyde
4.0

Wow.
I read a lot of books. A lot. And oftentimes, I admit, I am reading just to read, to immerse myself in a story and experience another place, another life. But this isn't that kind of book. This is a book that is read for a purpose, one that leaves you feeling like you have done something by reading it; it is a book with a message, an experience unto itself. It is almost too much to take in, the beauty, the simplicity, of both the book and the idea. Reading this book was, in itself, a way of Paying It Forward. Once it's been read, there is almost an obligation to recommend it to others, to constantly talk and think about it, and, most importantly, to be a part of The Movement yourself.
