ITT: Life changing books
If you're going to make a thread you should at least put effort into elaborating on why you feel the way you do. This isn't /b/, discussion is nice.
Zen and motorcycle maintenance
Celestene prophecy
Life of pi
Girl with the dragon tattoo
The alchemist
Am I missing any others from this genre? You know, books for people who don't like to read all that much but will annoy other readers with how much they need to read that life changing book of theirs. You know, the only book they read in the past five years.
