Books that Affect Lives

I read The Alchemist not too long ago and to an extent, it did change my view on life. I am curious about what books have changed others' lives, mainly because I need something else to read.

My list:
-The Alchemist
-Sorrow of War

p.s. Can anyone comment on The Five People You Meet in Heaven? It seems very enlightening.

Green Eggs and Ham. That really messed me up.

It was by Dr. Seuss FYI.

>tfw somebody says "Fifty Shades of Gray"


But yeah, the Alchemist changed my life for about a month. Then I stopped thinking about it.

I know this is a really cliché and obvious choice, but Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird had a huge impact on me.

Le Petit Prince/The Little Prince. I didn't think much of it the first time I read it during elementary school, but the second time around it changed the way I see my relationship with others.
