Jostein Gardiner - Not Sophie's World, as I haven't gotten through that yet, but another one. Which, coincidentally, I can't remember the name of. I think it's 'Hello, Is Anybody Out There?'. And 'The Christmas Mystery', which made me think about God a lot more than I had before.

I loved 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell as well, and I really have to read '1984'.

'To Kill a Mockingbird' was another mind-changing read.

Aged about 9, the Narnia Chronicles were life-changing. They opened my eyes to fantasy, to the thought of another world, and to spirituality.

Some people sure have a lot of life changes.

Two for me:

On The Road - Jack Kerouac
Cosmos - Carl Sagan
