I'm looking for some sort of list, or at least input from the well-read members of this forum, of the Books That Changed Your Life.
It seems like we might all benefit from something like that. I'll admit to my personal top five

The Lord of The Rings Okay, it almost cliche now, but in 1970 I was an impressionable teenager in a broken home. Tolkien's Catholic Church influence rings strong in these novels and I found great inspiration in the tale of personal integrity and sacrifice. No Kindle version available

Johnny Got His Gun Amazing writing that will wrench your mind. No Kindle version available.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance Hell, I went out and bought a motorcycle. But that was 1976.

James and the Giant Peach I read this to my young siblings and two sets of children. I'll read it to any children who ask. No Kindle version available.

Tales of Mystery and Imagination Here is where I found my personal dark side. Nice to know everyone has one. I'm pretty sure you can find a Kindle version on feedbooks.

The Book Cracked open the door of self-awareness. No Kindle version.
Heck, how are people supposed to read these things if there are no Kindle versions available? Maybe a life changing book needs to be a DTB held in the hand and smelled and touched. I hope not.
