Have you ever read a book that changed how you look at life?

After I read Keep The Aspidistra Flying by George Orwell, I realised I've wasted my life.

Have you ever read a book that changed how you look at life?
I think most worthwhile books shape our thinking. Even if we disagree with them, that helps us learn our limits and form our opinions.


Angela's Ashes showed me how someone can overcome an impoverished childhood to lead an enriched life. Seeing what he experienced, gave me perspective that proved valuable.

Now where did I leave my high powered snipers rifle?
Reply:Indeed I have!


A few years ago, at work, someone hinted that I wasn't intelligent enough to read a book called "Stalingrad" by Antony Beevor. I took the challenge, found the book extremely facinating and discovered how wonderful it is to broaden ones horizon by reading.


I also warmly recommend


"The Gulag Archipelago" by Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, which is


a book that everyone should read, it deals with the Stalin death camps and is a collection of stories that Solzhenitsyn heard while spending 25 years in a Russian Gulag camp.

It's amazing the way we don't pay attention to something one day and the next day it can turn out to be monumental :%26gt;

Reply:After reading Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, I realized how lucky I was to be who I was, growing up when and where I did. Hey, I had Mom and Dad and dinner together. My life wasn't threatened. I could receive a fabulous education by just going to public schools that were excellent. I learned to appreciate my life and respect her for becoming the incredible woman she is.

Reply:Postman Pat's Foggy Day - It made me realise how dangerous fog can be when you're driving, and that it's not a good idea to take your cat to work as it may get in to heaps of trouble. Many times have these wondrous anecdotes improved upon my life and given me knowledge that very few people can say they have!
Reply:Yes, but I have lost the drive since then. Maybe, I should read it again.

Reply:The book that changed the way i look at life is called "Mind Over Mood" I had suffered with depression and this book made me see things differently for example i went day by day for 2 years worrying that i would have another panic attack but this book helps you work your way through certain exercises to view your problems in a positive way - i would recommend it to anyone author Dennis Greenburger. Also read all the Pelzer books, they too had an effect!

Reply:Night. it's a book about the holocaust. i forgot who wrote it.
Reply:Yes, I certainly did, I bought an old book from my library which had been withdrawn from circulation. It taught me to believe nothing I read, unless it was absolutely proven beyond any doubt, ( including the book I was reading) and that I could verifiy it myself if need be. I am talking about Anthropology, and Darwins theory of evolution. I honestly believe that we have to go back to the beginning, and start all over again, because what we have got is a lot of downright lies and deceite, and a lot of backstabbing. It's amazing what some folk will do for a bit of recognition.

Also, the Brother's Grimm and other stories during the middle ages made me hate Disney. Especially now that they've created HSM.
