    dan brown is also pretty awesome. i was thinking about looking into 'the lost symbols'. i flew through da vinci code and angels and demons..i've also gotten into tanith lee... and read an excellent book called 'shadows over baker street' which are sherlock holmes stories that delve into the netherworld of h.p. lovecraft.

    i keep seeing people put the bible, which is completely fine, but is it the book in its entirety? or specific books? and if so, which ones and why? i love hearing peoples' perspective on what specifically changed them?

    ALL of Mitch Albom's...Five People you Meet In Heave, Tuesdays with Morrie, For One More Day!!! They are all life changing!!

    I find them to be trite and nauseating.

    For me, it's

    Let the Great World Spin (McCann)
    Eyeless in Gaza (Huxley)
    Everything by, for, and about Hemingway (including the cats, and Key West home)
    The Bell Jar (Plath)
    The Road (MacCarthy)
    the Rats of NIMH
    The Hunger Games
    Alas, Babylon (Frank)
    Catch-22 (Heller)
    Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (Foer)
