Books that changed your life

I honestly have to say that The Way of the Peaceful Warrior was a pretty special read for me.
At a time when i pretty much figured it was time to call it quits on life in general that book showed up at just the right time.
That was six months ago and in all honesty I've been a different person ever since. Sure the book isnt entirely to blame..
there was some hard work on my part and all but in its own little way.. it was a kick in the ass to get better.
Thanks dan millman for such a great experience.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Kingdom of Fear have had the biggest impact on me, they have changed me alot.
Also The Dark Tower has had a HUGE impact on me as well. But please, for your own good, if you get to the last book, take Stephen King's warning and stop when he tells you to. I now hate him and don't classify the final book in the series. Fucking swine.

Most definitely. Skill aside, it's truly a moving book.
I've read my fair share of books and there are a lot of great ones out there, but I have to say that the one book that completly changed the way I see the world, that has had a tremendous permanent impact is Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower. It's a sort of distopia story that dissects human nature to its core, sews it back up, and then roasts it until you're ready to chow and digest. Quite frankly, it scares the shit out of me. I can say with true honesty that no other book has had such an effect on me.

Three words.
