Folks Online List 30+ Books That Blew Their Minds and Changed Their Lives (Bored Panda)

"The great Italian writer and semiotician Umberto Eco once said 'The person who doesn't read lives only one life. The reader lives 5,000. Reading is immortality backwards.' And among those thousands of lives, at least one can really shake you to the core or make you realize something about life that will change how you live it. If you haven't read such a book yet, maybe reading something that made a huge impact on others can help with that. People on Reddit shared the books that left the biggest impression on them when VAMPCLAW asked, 'What is that one book that absolutely changed your life?' Redditors shared both fiction and non-fiction books that made them think differently, inspired them to reach for more or helped them to get through a difficult time in their lives." - boredpanda.com
