I created this list about 5 months ago, and have been thinking a lot about these books and how they have made me who I am today. I only made one adjustment at this time, adding The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman. That books has already influenced my life in the past 2 weeks. Everyone should read it! If you are looking for something to read, you could start with one of these!
I think everyone should read these books. Not every book I have enjoyed has to be everyone else's favorite. But these books are classic. A classic is defined as: 1. "of the first or highest quality, class, or rank: a classic piece of work; 2. serving as a standard, model, or guide: the classic method of teaching arithmetic." These books are not in the order of greatest influence of my life. I find it impossible to rank one book over another. But I feel everyone, man or woman, would be better off if they read and understood these books.
