Books to Read
Have you ever read a book that totally blew your mind? Books have the power to change your perspective on life.
How
many times have you heard about some person that decided to pursue
something simply because she read a book? It happens all time. Until I
was 17, I believed that reading was something you had to do at school,
or something that you did for entertainment. I hated reading.
But
when I started reading classic books like Crime and Punishment, I
realized something: Through reading, you can live a 1000 lifetimes. You
can learn from other people’s experiences.
Do
you want to learn about happiness? Read a book. Do you want to become
better at relationships? Read a book. Want to get in shape? Read a book.
There’s a book for everything. Books define you. As Ralph Waldo Emerson
once said:
“I cannot remember the books I’ve read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”
Almost everything I know today I’ve learned from books. And for the past years, I’ve been tearing up books. In this article, you‘ll find 100 great books that influenced me.
I’ve
ordered them in two categories to keep it simple: The first 74 books
are nonfiction and the rest is fiction (that ratio is also how my full
library looks like). I’ve sorted the books alphabetically — I find it
impossible to make a top 100 because every book in unique in its own
way.
The
links are to Goodreads (not affiliated) so you can read the description
and reviews. I’ve also added several quotes I enjoyed to some of the
books.
