The Autobiography of Malcolm X changed the way I look at a lot of things. It made me see the world in a more nitty gritty way and made me think about the strife people face when they are oppressed. Really makes you see the world in a different way.

Phillip Pullman's "His Dark Material's" Trilogy.
This series gave me a new outlook on and made me an armchair physicist and renewed my falling interest in maths... "Endurance". My sister got this book for me as a birthday present. Its about the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton's voyage to the South Pole and their ship got stranded....in 1914. Made me think a lot about survival when I finished reading it. Erm...of the couple hundreds of books I've read are novels...so they're mainly for entertainment. |

To Kill a Mockingbird.
"...You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it..." I fell in love with Atticus.

mines quite a weird one, you may all laugh but the most influential book for me was 2001 a space odyssey and a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. read the latter when i was quite young and it changed the way i saw a lot of things. i think a lot of my imagination and creativity is there because of that book!

Oh, Cheeky...
Chinese Cinderella and Fasting, Feasting were probably the two books that have made me into the doormat that I am. They made me think that I was lucky to have a family like mine, and I shouldn't complain.
