Top Ten Books that Made Me Think
Writing this list, I see that I am definitely a child of the
1980’s! Having looked at other people’s
lists, I see I have many more books to add to my TBR monster pile – but so many
of them sound fascinating.
1.
Illusions by Richard Bach. This is not a book for the ultra-religious,
as it makes you think about being in charge of your own destiny and reality.
2.
1984 by George Orwell. A book written in 1948 about a dark
future. I remember as the year of 1984
approached if this story would come true.
3.
The Little Prince by Antoine de
Saint Exupery. I first read this in
French for high school and several times subsequently. This definitely made you think about life.
4.
Emily and Einstein by Linda Francis
Lee. You wonder what your dog might have
to say, but it makes you think about those that you love and finding your inner
strength.
5.
Jonathan Livingstone Seagull by
Richard Bach. About pushing the
boundaries and not being ordinary – a quick read.
6.
The Precious Present by Spencer
Johnson. A beautiful story of seeking
and a surprising ending.
7.
All I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
by Robert Fulghum. One of those fun
books with many Ah-Ha moments.
8.
Across the Universe and A
Million Suns by Beth Revis. Not
all of this story is deep, but there are definitely moments in these books that
make you think about leading people and how to control them.
9.
The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. Main fiction but it had many interesting
precepts in this sotry, as well as puzzles that made me think a bit before
moving on. It was fun figuring out the
puzzles.
10.
The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by
Dan Millman. Another one of those books
that helps you to perceive the world a little differently.
Looking forward to see what books made you think!
