Kevin Kelly:
I don't mean merely great books, or memorable ones, or favorite ones. I mean books that altered your behavior, changed your mind, redirected the course of your life. Books as levers.
Let's put them down here in this thread, the books that have been levers for us, and changed our life and way of thinking.
My list:
- The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
-
Siddhartha by Herman Hesse
-
Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
- My first C++ textbook (dunno the title, but I think it was from O'Reilly)
