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. Anyone else had a book shake up their worldview? Let’s share the stories that stuck with us and swap recommendationss while we’re at it. Settle in and let the book chat begin! I'm excited to read a book or two from your favourites list.

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

When 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.
