I wouldnโ€™t say these completely changed my life, but they have definitely influenced/impacted me, some greatly.
The subtle art of not giving a fuck. Wild. A Monster Calls. American Sniper. Big Magic. Seven Brief Lessons on Physics.

Ones I fell in love with, Stranger the Dreamer. The raven cycle. The Scorpio races. Vincent and Theo. Fahrenheit 451. Lolita. And so many more ?

Salt to the Sea absolutely wrecked me. I was like eight months pregnant when I read it in class (English teacher) and I just sat there and sobbed.

@Bridget Ugh I just cried when it described people trying to throw their babies onto the boat. I just … ugh. It haunts me. I actually use that passage to teach imagery in class.

I don’t think there is a certain book which changed my life all of a sudden. I think the experience as a reader is being accumulated.
But, there is a fictional character who influenced on my pursuit of life in long run. He is Mr. Lloyd, who examined Jane’s health when she became ill out of shock from the red room. I think his caring and compassion was a threshold for Jane’s turning point; he suggested going to school and even if the school was not the bed of roses, it was an opportunity for her ๐Ÿ™‚ Anyway, he suggested me how I should lead my life in terms of helping others. ๐Ÿ™‚
Then, a boy named Demian came to me when I was in secondary school. He was not a kind figure to grasp, but was quite influential. ๐Ÿ™‚ Now, Herman Hesse is one of my favorite author.

Two in particular, “By Searching” by Isobel Kuhn and “By My Spirit” by Rosalind Goforth. And, of course, I must include the Bible.

Refuse to choose by Barbara Sher. If you are the kind of person that has multiple hobbies or passions like a โ€œjack of all tradesโ€ this book really helps you to embrace it ๐Ÿ™‚

Even though I don’t read a lot of non-fiction those are the ones that stay with me the longest or make the biggest impression. Like Lucky, Columbine or Into the Wild.
