Every single book i read gives something to me as a person, when im changed as a person, i change teh way i look at life. The most recent books are the karamazov btothers and the idiot by dostoevsky, the master and margarita by bulgakov, sidharta, Demian and Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse, Faust by Goethe, One Hundred Years of Loneliness by Marquez. I;d suggest some lithuanian authors but im kinda sure you wont find tehir books in english..

The Left Behind series changed the way I look at life, though ultimately I don't think the end of the world will be quite like the way those are written, they are very good books.

I've read many books but the ones that changed my perceptions the most are by Madeleine L'Engle: "A Wrinkle in Time", "A Wind in the Door", and "A Swiftly Tilting Planet." My other life changing book was "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis which gives a sound, logical argument for Christianity.

The Left Behind Series by Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins. If not them, any books by Frank Peretti

Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. This is a beautifully written story of the journey of a man's life to find enlightenment. You'll travel with him and discover a new way to look at time, meaning, universality, and the possibility to timelessness.

Heartsongs by Mattie Stepanek. Mattie had written several books of poetry before he passed last year from complications from Muscular Dystrophy. He was one of the most amazing and gifted people ever to be on earth. Check his stuff out and your life will be changed.

Read "THE MONK WHO SOLD HIS FERRARI" by Robin Sharma. This is the best book I have ever read and best you can find in the market. This book has changed many lives even mine. Many books suggest concepts and gives theories. But this book gives direct steps to explain us so that we can directly bring all those principles into our life.

"Left Behind" it helped me understand the Book of Revelations. The way, Revelations is written it was a bit difficult for me to understand. And the series is Great story to boot!

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Awesome and classic literature.
Also, Kissing Doorknobs (i forgot the author). Very inspiring about a girl suffering from OCD (obssessive compulsive disorder). it's really sad, though.
