          Good one. Karl Marx was so moved by Darwin's book that he wanted to dedicate the 1848 Communist Manifesto to him.

                  Hmmmm interesting. A fellow webmaster into homesteading. I've been doing some research into this. Apparently, there's a govt program here in the Philippines where people get land titles for putting 'idle' wilderness (non-tropical rain forest) into commercially active use. So I've been reading up on homesteading. No travel trailers but homesteading nonetheless

                            Dude! Thomas Sowell's ETHNIC AMERICA really opened my eyes. Sowell's great! His 'beginners' book on Economics is CLASSIC!

                              I first read it in 1984 and it wasn't a book. It was a a pamphlet:

                              The World Ends Tomorrow and You May DIE!!!
                              I still love everybody

                                        Hmm never heard of any of these books.

                                        I'm reading the Dan Brown Books (Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons etc)

                                        They really open your eyes to a lot of things.

                                          The only one that changed the way I think is:

                                          Sigmund Freud: Case Studies

                                          After reading it you start to see things in a different way, for good and bad. Other books that has made me think (but didn't change the way I think) is Paulo Coelho's.
                                          No business related books has changed the way I think.

                                                The Portrait of Dorian Gray. I really like Oscar Wilde and IMO this is his most interesting work.

                                                  The biggest eye opener I've read is "Heinrich Harrer: Seven Years in Tibet". Incredible story and you really feel for the Tibetan people

                                                                              Any number of books by Robert Anson Wilson expanded and warped my view of the universe.

                                                                              More recent books like "the tipping point" "Gonzo marketting" and "cluetrain manifesto" have opened my eyes to other ways of thinking (not just outside the box, but eliminating the box entirely).

                                                                              Holdem Poker for Advanced players by David Sklansky and Mason Malmuth has also opened my eyes
