Have you read any books which have had a profound effect on your life?

I've just read all the Harry Potter books. Amazing. I've been struck again how awesome the power of love and mercy are. Have you read anything that has affected you profoundly?

Chicken Licken had a particularly profound effect, a bird's eye view of Armageddon, stress related anxiety and a critical illustration of how paranoia feeds a fear of the ultimate outcome for poultry

yes, the bible and the koran have both mentally scarred me.

[Phanerothyme 12]

Prometheus Rising by R.A.Wilson is a real eye opener.

 

It's got the worst cover in the world though, but I think it's deliberate.

Chariot of the Gods - Erik Von Daniken.

Yes and "The magic Porridge Pot" is a wonderful yet often harrowing story into how one family's bereavement descends into a struggle against drug addiction.

 

My kids will never be fooled by any little old lady stood outside their school gates offering them a little pot.

One of the most thought provoking albeit harrowing and disturbing books that I have ever read. A definite must read and I suspect it'll be an A level syllabus text before too long.

It would help if your read them rather than have them thrown at your head then

I've not tried that one - have you read Quantum Psychology also be RAW?
