Atlas Shrugged changed the way I saw the world as a whole

The Five People You Meet in Heaven changed the way I saw my world and the importance of the people who surround me.

All books by Carl Sagan and in case of a novel I think Fahrenheit 451 is a good read.

Irene’s life story is indeed a tragic one. Such a wonderful talent laid waste by man’s inhumanity to man! Apart from the vicious barbarity, the holocaust removed an irreplaceably massive amount of cultural history.
