Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you.
The Bible
[Without it, I would not be here.]
Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri
[Incredibly interesting read, especially when you turn to visualizing the different types of creatures and circles when the protagonist descends even further into hell. ovo]
Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
[Continuous struggle is what keeps a man alive. Docility is a dangerous thing.]
The Reason for God by Timothy Keller
[I've perhaps been stuck in gridlock concerning my studies in the sciences and psychology going head to head with my faith for some time, but there's nothing like a good read with another perspective to help link things together. uvu]
The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
[There are actually four. Loved reading this back in middle school.]
Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely
[Why we make the decisions we make, and what influences us to take up these decisions. It's brilliant.]
Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
[Easy to understand and go through on a free weekend. Great insight, and damn well hilarious. Has a little something for everyone to get a little interested in.]
The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell
[/nerds all over this book. If you're into the conceptualization behind marketing and audience targeting, read it.]
Blink by Malcolm Gladwell
[Digs into why people do what they do and think what they think in a mass setting. Research-proven, surprising statistics, and a whole load of fun.]
All of the Calvin and Hobbes series by Bill Watterson
[My childhood. Beautifully made comics and my style of humor; no doubt.]
