@Wendy it’s a wonderfully written book, the characters are completely relatable and there are so many life pondering questions posed thought the book. Also laugh out loud funny parts which I personally love
Sorry going to the cliche answer and say all the books i read. I try to read books that challenge my thought or perspective, or opens me up to something new ? too difficult for me to say one did it more than the next. That’s why i love reading

The China Study by T Colin Campbell changed my diet for the better 9 years ago. Spark by John Ratey has helped me prioritize exercise. The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg helped me understand how to form better habits. Reading fiction has changed my thinking about people but I can’t say any one book really stands out, there are so many good ones I can’t pick one or two
So many from Huxley to Orwell, from Kerouac to Salinger, etc. But there are also two non-fiction books that have had a profound effect on my thinking and my writing: “Meeting the Shadow,” edited by Zweig and Abrams, and “The True Believer,” by Eric Hoffer.
Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman, Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, and The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub.
When I was a young teenager, the White Oleander book helped me through a lot of my struggles at that time. I would carry it around with me everywhere, reading it time and time again. I even made a collage over the cover of the book only because (that book became such a personal item to me) that I didn’t want anyone judging me or making assumptions about me by what I was reading. It was an emotional time in my life.
