In my case, that was Animal Farm by George Orwell. I read it when I was very young (about nine or ten years old) and I hated it so much exactly because it was so sad. To this day, I still cannot forget how I felt when I read it. :moon:

Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstadter

Also, I had a maths teacher who had a habit of throwing a book (or board duster) at any dozing pupils.
That made an impact.

Same here, loved the book, thought it was very cleverly written :-)
Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell. He just has a way of leaving such an impact throughout the whole story and then the last lines are always so thought provoking!

Roll of thunder hear my cry, Woman in Berlin and To kill a mockingbird are probably my top 3 but I definitely have loads more
The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Taught me so much about life and the ending is emotional uno :cry2:
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara - My eyes actually water every time I think about it. It taught me to be thankful for my family and the little things in life and so much more, would recommend it to everybody. (:

My sister Jodie - Jacqueline Wilson
The first book that ever made me cry.
Bertrand Russell's A History of Western Philosophy.

I read it 15 years ago and it still remains the most informative book I've ever encountered.
Mind Games - Teri Terry

Inspired what I want to do in the future, and also made me aware of the psychological and philosophical issues needed to be addressed :smile:
