A book the affected my life... "From Hell and Back" by Jane Nazrat!!!!!!!!! If you haven't read it yet, you need to; I'm serious, "it's all that and a bag of chips"!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check out the reviews on Barnes and Noble, to see what others are saying.

Ecclesiates and song of solomon from the bible that King Solomon wrote. He was one of the wiser men ever!

Hmm... I must be vague about this, I cannot recall all of the individual names, but... The Apochrypha, the banned books, almost all of them I've read. These books gave me a completely new view of religion, even going so far as to criticize the Bible itself...

When I am destressed or perhaps just looking for a beautiful novel I often turn to the Hobbit, yes, The Hobbit has affected me morally, socially, and strangley enough spiritually. I am thinking of times when I would sit in my bed and feast over riddles hearty songs and beautiful texts.

~C.S. Lewis

The Hobbit... I remember that book... I loved it, though I found it dreadfully dull at times, though I do see what you mean.

Another book I read that effected my life was Carson McCuller's great "Member of the Wedding".....the greatest coming of age story of them all....she turned it into a stage play and it was made by Fred Zinnemann into a fine film with the wonderful Julie Harris as Frankie.....this novel dealt with dreams about the possibilities of life !!!!! Carson knew heaps about all sorts of things I am thinking....

Frank Herbert's Dune. Even before I read the book, I was affected by the film adaptations and the quotations from the book posted all over the Internet.
