'Pulse' by Julian Barnes and 'Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?' by Jeanette Winterson.

If I had to choose something more 'cliche', though, I'd go with The Catcher in the Rye.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time

The Book Thief.

I was an emotional wreck after I had read it. I cry quite easily at books but I had the most profound cry I have ever had once I'd finished this book.


Oooh this! The book I've cried most at. :colondollar:

Lolz, I'm still not done, but I've been reading it and watching the MIT course and it's just so interesting! I don't think I could have just read the book, most of the stuff would have gone straight over my head :lol:.

It is a rather large book :lol: I might go through it with the MIT course this summer after exams if it's that interesting :smile:
Wonder by R.J. Palacio.

Really made me think about how I treat others. It's about a boy with a condition that affects his face pretty severely attending school for the time & is written from the perspectives of various people in his life.
I strongly recommend the Quran.

are you aware that I am considering making another account (srs). This **** is getting to me, I mean, my reputation as a contributing poster on this forum/section has taken a hit. Has nothing to do with the rep power, but, I honestly try to help when people are (srs) and when it's a lulzy thread, I join in, but now when I comment, and have any input in any thread... there are a few miscers calling me this and that. It's pretty nasty stuff, I have manners in real life, and I control myself online, but others... shame brahs, you cuss every other person out like he isn't a person. (inb4 u mad, puzzy, etc)

Speak really got me off thinking being an emo cutter was cool. Kristen Stewart was in a 2005 film adaptation, not very faithful to the caliber of the novel but anyway.

Self-help books lol (titled featuring whichever help you might need; we all need help).

Coldest Winter Ever. It might not seem to be great because the narration uses 1st-person, and the perspective is from a wild, urban, libidinous daughter of a drug dealer. :colondollar: But it's a candid tale of veering your life into a better direction, despite demanding circumstances and breaking generation cycles of adding to crime and poverty. :yes:

I wish I could tell you more non-fiction novels but I'm stuck on Uni textbooks.

Whilst it is great at what it does it didn't actually change how I thought and I knew how that kind of stuff goes on in the world.
