I'd have to say that my reading list for this year has changed the way I view the world. Having read 67 authors from different countries has been a great way to see more about the human condition.

Sometimes with books, it is the timing with which we read them as much as the book itself that determines the affect it has on us.
I think that this is true.

Reading a particular passage written in language which evokes a spiritual epiphany can change ones life. For me, Milton would be an example of this or perhaps it was when I first heard Blake's words set to "Jerusalem" at an early age. I remember the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I knew then that life would never be the same again.
