Have you ever read a book that blew your mind? It doesn't have to be the best book you've ever read, or your most favorite, just a book that really made you say "wow" or maybe made you look at things in a new way.
For example, I've read two in the last six months that really blew me away: Brave New World and All Quiet on the Western Front. They got me for different reasons, Brave New World because I felt that Huxley was on to something, and All Quiet on the Western Front because it really made the emotions of the fight come to me. Wow. And thanks!
I have Brave New World in my audiobooks and it ruined it for me. I wish I had just read it. The two books that blew my mind was Zen in the Art of Archery and the old book i've read since I was in middle school, Catcher in the Rye. Overall, I prefer non-fiction.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, for me. Brave New World was also great.
john dies at the end by david wong. it made me say...WOW! i think because it was so frigin weird, but interesting...and impossible to describe lol. ive never read anything else like it.
I read In Cold Blood when I was a senior in high school many many years ago. Before any movies about it were made. I have no idea why I read it just that I was a voracious reader and was reading everything at the time. Not only did it blow my mind but stayed with me for a long time. In those days murders happened but they never went into detail in the papers or on the news. So the book shocked me.
Daughter of Persia by Sattareh Farman Farmaian. This is the remarkable story of a woman born in 1921 into the family of a Persian government official who had four wives and a total of 36 children. It gives remarkable insight into, not only life in pre-revolution Iran, but what it was like growing up in an Islamic household that included four wives and their children living in close proximity to each other.
