A child called "it"- Dave Prezel.
It was about how a child struggled to fight for survival with an abusive mother and a passive father.
Go read it ! :) Really nice.
I was quite touched after reading it, and it was an eye opener.
My mum cried, haha.

Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre". By 11 it helped me conceive of deep love as beginning with what I would come to understand is called 'intellectual kinship'.
'Revolution Betrayed' by Leon Trotsky. I don't think anyone can understand any aspect of 20th and 21st century life without an appreciation of the world historical signifcance of the Russian Revolution and the tragic consequences of its betrayal in the 1930s. (For those who don't know, the regime that collapsed in 1991 bore no relation to the regime established by the Bolsheviks in 1917.)

The Road Less Travelled - Paul Brunton
This was the first book that made sense of my life.
If you live in confusion it is because you choose to be confused.
Wuthering Heights - Bronte
My first book that gave me an idea of how difficult to love would be.
The Joy of Living - The Dalai Lama
Impossible (for me!) but the pure joy of simplicity is the goal
Good question - thanks!

"Gospel Enigma: and the Young Heretics"
I knew many of the things in there, but the details made is much more convincing. It changed my thinking. It's a free read.

Yes. Shattered Chain by Marion Zimmer Bradley. It made me see how I was treating male and female friends differently.
