No book has ever changed my life. Some I remember more than others though. Either because I liked the story they told (fiction), or because they were immensely technically useful at the time (like the CRC book of mathematical tables, or my DiffEq textbook). Those didn't change my life, but they helped me advance in it.
Nowadays I just read for fun. 100% of the time. And books that people claim have changed their lives are not usually the fun ones. They may be good books for other reasons, but "fun" is not generally used to describe them. I am highly unlikely to ever read a book that will change my life. But I hope there are still many that will make my life more enjoyable. i.e., entertain me and make me happy.
