I just read Love in the Time of Cholera and now I am lost and forlorn without a book to read. Any books that changed your life?

Black Beauty by Anna Sewell
Three men in a boat-Jerome K Jerome
Austen's novels
The Grapes of Wrath
The Crucible

The Great Gatsby
Great Expectations
Huckleberry Finn

There r other books that u should not miss like those of Orwell, Dickens,Bronte,Betty Mamoody,Ngugi(african writer).
In fact there is no best book for each has its own beauty and each is special in its own way.

I agree with the first poster, the Road by Cormac McCarthy is a very good book.
A few others are:
-A Natural History of the Senses
-The Morgesons (I really recommend this one)
-Open House (not really that life changing but still a good read)
-The Double Bind

Nope, books don't change my life, they entertain me, interest me, fascinate me.
Try The Royal Road to Romance by Richard Halliburton. I got to read that one at the dinner table! It's romance in the sense of adventure so don't wrinkle your nose at the title. Or you could try Guns, Germs & Steel by Jared Diamond. I've heard it's interesting and thought provoking.

Einstein's Dreams by David Lightman. It's about different ideas on how time could pass. Beautifully written
