Re: Books that change our lives.

In my younger days, Catcher in the Rye and Ullyses changed my ideas about what the written word could do. These books breathed. In my college years, Watts Wisdom of Insecurity was pivotal in opening a door to Krishnamurti, Suzuki(s), Trungpa, Wittgenstein and a slew of others. That Watts pebble created a lifelong ripple. I don't know that I've read a book that hasn't changed me in some way. Mostly for the better. I think :^)
