Are there books that changed the way you see the world?
Just wrapped up Animal Farm and wow, what a perspective shift I got! It’s amazing how a great book can transport you and make you rethink the world.

Thanks for sharing, @Mikev! I actually can't wait to read this next. I took a break from reading brain-busting books for now, but 1984 seems promising!1984. I remember reading all about Big Brother and what the future may hold when I was at school. Scary how much of this has come true
Wow, that's such a lovely encounter, @JackiW! I hope you were able to share what you learned with others tooWhen I arrived in Australia 55 years ago I met a wonderful elderly woman who suggested that I read 3 books that she thoroughly recommended as an introduction to the real Australia.
They were
1 We of the never never.
2 No roads go by.
3. Crow on a barbed wire fence.
How right she was. Sadly I don't have the books anymore but they taught me so much about the wonderful land I now call home.
I started reading this in 2023 but I never really got around to finishing it. Maybe this is my sign to pick it up again" Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro. That will really change your perspective!
This looks like a fun read, @Wandiwa! I'll definitely add it to my 'To Be Read' list and let you know my thoughts on it once I read it.Won't change your life, apart from maybe a few smiles and a good laugh .......

Some of my family members used to read Nora Roberts, and I love some of her titles. What's your favorite, @starrysnan? I'll also try picking up some books by Phillipa Gregory. I'm definitely a fan of historical books, especially historical romancesI have really enjoyed any books by Nora Roberts and for historical books Phillipa Gregory.
Hey, @Dor jar! Is this by Ayn Rand? It's on my To Be Read list as well, and I'll definitely give it more points to go up higher on my reading pileFountain head
