Books that changed my life

A good place to check out if for my "to-read" list (HT: Ryan Holiday)

Books that changed my life, let's see:

1) Jane Eyre

The 1st time I read it I was 13, when I tried to figure out what love meant.

2) Sahara Stories

Real stories about creating romance in the least romantic place/dessert, about having adventures and being an obedient daughter. I was about 13/14 years old.

3) Cai Zhizhong Cartoons

Form can also determine context. I was in secondary school, the best school in the whole city, which means almost zero time for fun other than reading cartoons.

4) My country my people

A modern classic about what being a Chinese means. I was in University then.

5) The Little Prince

What is true love. I was a master student.

6) Stories by Yishu

What it meant to be a career woman. I was in the States working on my PhD.
