I need to know what it is!
Friends, I’d like for you to recommend a book for me. It could be your favourite childhood book, or a book that’s changed your perspective on life, or just a book that you think I’d enjoy reading (only serious recommendations though, please).
And my promise is to read everyone’s book recommendation. I’m on a crusade to fall in love with reading again. I think getting my friends’ personal recommendations is a great way to start.
Can’t wait to hear them!!!
Thanks in advance. =)
Fifth Business – Robertson Davies
It’s what made me decide at the last minute to choose engineering when I had been planning to go into Life Science the entire time.
You need some knowledge in Jungian Psychology to appreciate it though.
Tuesdays with Morrie
Job, from the Bible.

The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Somehow it’s very emotional to me
the last lecture by randy pausch
hah! i found your blog!
sword of truth by terry goodkind (and the rest of the series) btw
OMG I love Fifth Business, too! Although I have no clue what aspect of the book could’ve possibly made Colin want to pursue engineering over life sci XD
hmm…a book that left a profound impression on me when I first read it in high school is Jane Eyre. I found myself being able to relate her really well although our life circumstances were vastly different.
Yunjie: Books are powerful that way. They affect each person differently. 😛
Great suggestions, keep ’em coming! =D
Actually, I’ve already read Fifth Business. But perhaps it’s worth another read, since it’s been 7 years since I’ve read it.
I just finished reading Dan Brown’s latest book: The Lost Symbol and I loved it =)
