Not necessarily your favorite; which book has broadened your perspective, angered you, inspired you, made you feel a tangible, powerful drive to succeed, take action for/against something, etc? Basically, what moves you?
I'm split between Catch-22, and Crime and Punishment for mine. Real, shocking, powerful works.
What about y'all?

Great books, though I'm sure you already knew that. And lol, Twilight is a precursor to porn, not a book. Originally Posted by Temporary Account

1984. That should be all. Love that book. So much. The ending had me flipping. It really did. So horribly perfect. Originally Posted by Wang

Re: What is the most influential book you've read?
For me it was Harry Potter, I started reading them when I was about 7, and it made me fall in love with reading. Besides HP, I think the books we do with English like Animal Farm, I Will Marry When I Want and Master Harold... and the boys.
