Books that changed your life
Runs_With_Scissors:
About a Boy by Nick Hornby. Way better than the movie. I've read it 11 or so times, starting when I was in elementary school. That book just talks to me (not in a wierd split personality way, but the other way).
Kralia:
A short story on adultfanfiction about a sodium atom and a fluorine atom. It caused me to like chemistry, which lead me to take sciences and maths for A level. Without it, I probably would have gone down the very different path of art and theatre studies.
SaskiWhiteflower:
In Polish book is called "Doktorzy" by Elrich Segal. In English it would be ... ekhm ... "Doctors"?

--- Quote from: Spike on 20 Jun 2006, 19:15 ---Brave New World-Aldous Huxley. It's hard to pinpoint exactly how this book has affected me but I know it has.
Existentialism and human emotions-Sartre. This is the book/ piece of writing that first introduced me to the concept of existentialism. Since then I've wanted to find his other works. I've adopted quite a few of his ideas and tried to incorporate them into my own life.
