the giver

because of its graphic and visceral look at the holocaust from first person account.

because of its haunting and violent telling of the vietnam war; the human struggle to mentally grasp the horrors of war, what becomes of those who mentally break, and is a perfect reason why the politicians shouldn't use soldiers' lives for their own gain.

because of its depiction of how cruel humans can be especially to children. and how this said child overcame the impossible.

thread appreciated.

It made me see how pointless just picking up girls when I go out really is.

I have this book downloaded... i wonder if it really works.

I heard it does, but a person should look at the book as more of a self improvement book that should make you see how pointless it is to just randomly pick up girls at night and sleep with them.  It should show you that at the end of the day you don't get that sense of compassion that you can get from a significant other.  Not to spoil the book, but at the end that's exactly what the author finally realizes.

On The Road. Looking back i don't think it's that great a book and it's not even Kerouac's best work but it really expanded my horizons as far as literature goes.

Malice's book made me reevaluate things. Saying it changed my life may be an exaggeration but it definitely had an impact. Crazy seeing one of my favorite artists turn their life around and reading about all the stuff he went through
