Dune by Frank Herbert. It taught me many lessons in politics, power, leadership, and confidence in yourself.

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

Mr. Mojo Risin 02-17-2006 03:02 AM

I have "Capital" around here somewhere. I want to read it.

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 :thumbsup

several: 'think and grow rich' by napoleon hill 'conquest and culture' by thomas sowell, 'paul and the invention of Christianity', 'the alphabet effect', 'sex and history' I also read the auto biography of the camp commander at Treblinka . . And lots of 'dr allan watts stuff' . . Would be very hard for any of this material not to change one's thinking . .

KamilMax 02-17-2006 03:56 AM

Cien anos de soledad - don`t know exactly the name in English - somethig like 100 years of solitude - but i`m not sure..

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

titmowse 02-17-2006 05:55 AM

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!!!

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.

swedguy 02-17-2006 07:48 AM

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.
