What book, fiction/non-fiction, changed a part of you and how?

For me it was Forty Rules of Love, by Elif Shafak, and it greatly changed my understanding of my faith.

The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, both by Khaled Hosseini. The Kite Runner helped me reason my belief of trust and companionship. How being brave enough to trust others impacts you and also how your relationship with the most important people change based on trust alone. A Thousand Splendid Suns was an eye opener. This book helped me understand how important it was for women to support women and how that shapes you as a person.

@varshaanil It is crazy that you said what you did about the Kite Runner, because I've been struggling with the importance and place of trust in a relationship. Feel like I need to go back to this one immediately. As for Thousand Splendid Suns, I one hundred percent agree. And it taught me that we must have compassion in our darkest times.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra- Haven't completed it, but, it's beautiful in it's hope and hopelessness. Possessing the Secret of Joy- the story, the constant inner dialog, and what comes out - so real, painful, and moving.

@himanship thank you! Will be adding this to the reading list.

@himanship Possessing the Secret of Joy is a heart crushing book.

This is going to be weird but the Percy Jackson series. It was the first series that got me hooked to reading. Every time I've been in a reading block, I pick up a Rick Riordan book because his writing is so immersive that it pulls me out of it.

@senin This is great. It is also fantastic for getting kids interested in history and mythology. Immersive is exactly the right word.
Stuti Agarwal
@senin yes yes yes! One hundred percent with you on this. I feel the same about Rick. And Rick feels like a friend I can call Rick.

I recently read 'The Almanack of Naval Ravikant' by Eric Jorgenson. It was simply superb. It is available for free somewhere! I consider Naval as the modern-age Gautama Buddha!

@shyam_prasad_reddy would hate to download it for free, being an author myself. But shall definitely pick it up.

@shyam_prasad_reddy Naval's wisdom is so interesting!
