101 Books That Have Touched, Shocked or Changed Me - Page 2

This is a list of books that I've read that had an impact on my life in some way. These books made me laugh or cry, they've shocked me, or impressed me with the story they told, and all of them have somehow stayed with me. Many of them are classics that you've probably already read, but some are not as widely known. I've also listed children's books that I've reread as an adult. Some of them I've read only once, some I've read over and over again.
I can honestly recommend all of them.
