Two of the best fictional books I’ve ever read are The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, by Khaled Housseini. They are brilliant works of fiction – well-written, touching, and have the ability to draw you into the characters’ worlds.

As for self-help books, well, the book that changed my life was Kevin Trudeau’s “Natural Cures THEY Don’t Want You to Know About.” After I read that, I stopped eating most of the food from your average supermarket, excepting of course healthy foods such as vegetables and fruits, and turned to organic foods.

The book obviously made a huge impact on my life, and I’ve kept in excellent health since reading it. I recommend it to all of you.

Happiness from Tal Ben Sahar.
Great read, simple and true, based on scientific research. Kind of in the lines of Malcolm Gladwel.
Give it a go.

Thanks for the suggestions. I’m a big fan of Orson Scott Card myself. I’m going to organize this list into a post and add all the relevant links this weekend, so the whole thing should be much easier to navigate.

I think everyone has covered the self-help type stuff so I’ll go with my favorite fiction. These two books are the ones that I recommend to anyone and they always come back and rave.

A Game of Thrones by George RR Martin

Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card
