<p>The most recent hook that I have read that had me Thinking of life is
Never let me go- kazuo ishiguro</p>
<p>Ummm…
Into the Wild - Jon Krakauer</p>
<p>Looking.
For.
Alaska.</p>
<p>Not a single book. But of course, reading a series of brilliant novels actually had a major effect on me.</p>
<p>23 minutes in hell.
Taught me to be more appreciative of everything hah
And scared the heebeebajeebees out of me

<p>Ayn Rand’s works in general, probably “The Fountainhead” if I had to pick one.</p>
<p>I remember Gary Paulsen’s books got me hooked on Boy Scouts when I was younger.</p>
<p>Keeping You A Secret by Julie Anne Peters really helped me with my coming out process.</p>
<p>The very hungry catipillar. Dont’ take more than you can handle</p>
<p>
This, and Writings From Prison - Bobby Sands.</p>
<p>Blink and Outliers, both by Malcolm Gladwell are very eye-opening and change your perspective on things. Definitely great reads for just about any anybody.</p>
<p>The Alchemist and Looking For Alaska</p>
<p>Twilight!
It taught me how to recognize vampires. Just throw them into the sunlight and see if they sparkle.</p>
<p>JK. ;)</p>
<p>Crank made me terrified of meth :p</p>
<p>Animal Farm was such a good book. Dunno if it changed my life, but it made me think and I recommended the book to people I knew. Every time I read The Lovely Bones, I get shivers.</p>
<p>Looking for Alaska is one of the best books I’ve ever read. A Hope in the Unseen is pretty amazing too.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say they “changed my life”, but 1984 and The Autobiography of Malcolm X have both changed my perspective on life and the way I think.</p>
<p>Well, the first thing that popped into my head when I considered the titular question was “every book I read changes my condition a little bit”, but I dismissed that as hugely pretentious. Still pretentious if I address the pretentiousness?</p>
<p>A little, but less, at least.</p>
<p>Go Dog Go, Chika Chika Boom Boom, Cat in the Hat…the list goes on…</p>
