A couple of books have shaped my views.

First the Bible. Whether I want it to or not, whether It does so directly or not, since it influences so many it influences everyone.

Secondly A Will to Power by Frederich Nietzsche is a powerful book I would like to finish it one day.

And a book I would also like to finish Is called The Golden Bough by Sir William Raleigh. I was introduced to this book by Eureka 7 actually. Holland can be seen reading it often in the series so i did some research to see what he was reading and it turned out to be rather interesting.

Spoiler

You are Konata. You are video game & manga addicted. You are technically considered a geek but you are very determined one if you put your mind to the test. You like to bug other people & love to scare the people who get scared really easily. You have such a dirty mind that it is easily shown every time the subject of an adult game is brought up. That dirty trait was influenced by your father. You are easily distracted when you're trying to study & is too lazy to put effort into your work but if there's something you want, you find a way to get it. Since your mother died when you were very young, you do all the house work & take a lot of responsibility with your house work but not homework.

Proud. Driven. You fix on your objective and stick to it. Some people may see you as cold or even cruel, but they just can't see past your prickly surface. At heart, you care about your companions and may be a little more sensitive than you'd like to admit.

You're Aizen Sousuke, Captain of the Fifth Division! People find it easy to trust you, and who wouldn't? You're always saying kind things to people and taking on various causes for their sake. However, maybe there is something else that you're thinking? Either way, there are surely a lot of people who look up to you and that would defend you, in return, at a moment's notice.

You are a Vampire. You live for the night, and nothing thrills you more than the hunt, and then the kill. No one really understands you, or what you are, but you really just don't care. You let them think what they want about you. You prefer to remain apart from the world, mostly because it bores you to tears, but also because your involvement would cause conflict, and could possibly disrupt the secretive lifestyle that is necessary for those like you. When it comes to love, you are perfectly capable of opening your heart, but in the past you have suffered from loss and long for another who you can spend your eternity with.
Your word:Blood
Your color: Red - blood, passion, rage, intelligence
Your element: Fire
Your number: 666
Your emotion: Wrath
Your candy: Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries

Do not open! Private!

Spoiler You are a calm kiss. You never know when or who you will kiss next, because it just happens. You are somewhat happy-go-lucky, but that is why people like you! You know how to keep your cool, and to you, nothing is better than being with people you trust. You love quiet moments.
