What books/writings have changed your life/thinking?
I don't know if anyone else does this, but I like to read some quotes to become inspired in whatever I need.
I don't read many books, so I'm just curious what is out there and how it changed other people.

I rarely get inspired easily. It's always little by little.
Even if I do get inspired, I just go like "pffft yea I already know that" or "lol the guy's trying to be deep". But I am changing as I grow up.
Death note itself!

It's good at first in my opinion because it's about thin slicing and other topics that you've never really paid much attention to..it becomes boring eventually because the author lists things over and over..(repetitive)..after awhile.. Other than that I enjoyed it.
Definitely, definitely The Necronomicon.
The Tao Te Ching by the mythical Lao Tzu really helped me back in my high school days. Taoism is getting stuff done by doing nothing at all, or wu wei. As someone that flipped out over everything, that was a valuable lesson.
Blink by Malcom Gladwell..it's kind of dull because it's repetitive..interesting at first though.
The Giver, Edgar Allan Poe's works, and Anthem Even though they were assigned from the school for an essay, they were one of the only few books and stories that interested me and made me think.
Brave New World by Audrey Huxley.
My sister's keeper, by Jodi Picoult
the dark tower series by Stephen King
Listening to Frank Yang ramble has changed my life for the better good.
