Oh yessss....I'd say books has helped me a lot. I learned a lot of things I dont know of before I got addicted to reading. And it greatly changed my personality because I know so much more now than before. Like I said, I never had any formal education. So when people say I speak very well...inside I swell with pride.  And it gave me the self confidence I never had before when I was growing up. You might say I'm a self-taught person...so books really changed my personality.

Uhmmmmm... I think it doesn't change your personality.
Books give you inputs one some things you don't know or you know but didn't give a chance to think about it but it doesn't change your personality.
It can influence your thinking or how you view things but the whole essence of your personality doesn't change.
Books and their content adheres to our faith and belief... we don't just swallow up information given by a particular book but we adopt some things we think are useful in our life.
One's personality is made up of many factor... among which includes your environment ... i.e. friends, family, work (their thoughts and actuations bla bla)... what you read, what you watch...and the like.
Books are entertaining and informative thats for sure...it can take us to a whole new world or make us realize things we know, we don't know and ignore. It influence us in a way but not change us drastically.

waaaah kim... don't kill the media ... they, we are just doing our job!!! I know that the media culture had been bad...because good news is no news and bad news is NEWS... but don't kill us...its just our job

I beg to differ, earthly.  I dont know about the others but I believe it can. I had a bad case of inferiority complex when I was growing up because I dont have anything I can be proud of, personality wise. I can't even join in any conversation much less talk to some educated people in my cousin's circle of friends when I was living with some relatives coz they are the "kolehiyala" types? I used to be a meek mouse. Just sitting in one corner or serving snacks.Until I started reading. All the words that I dont understand, I look it up in the dictionary. Now I can converse with anyone. Heck, if truth be told I even love to argue when I have a point to make.  I think books can change the personality of some people, and Im a good example of that. It certainly allowed me to spread my wings.I may not still know aything about calculus or computers but hey...you can't have everything in life

Thanks I didnt even know who Cinderella or Goldilocks were till I started buying those fairy tale books so I can read them to my kids! Shame, shame, shame!! Books are really entertaining and informative. You know what they say, "Knowledge is Power"

I agree with Earth as being an influencial to our life.
Books like TV are great influence more to our behavior to react and changed of how we live but it can never change our innate characteristics of our personality. It can help us improve and get more knowledgeable of what we are lacking but it can never change the way who we really are. Because if your personality changed, then you are being considered hypocrite because you are acting to be someone who you are not. It is just a behavioral changes not a personality change...this is a taffy topic...it just an opinion from coochie coo...
