[QUOTE="Cowboy, post: 1125214, member: 7816"] I don't read fiction much these days, but if I could point to a few books that changed the way I think they would be; Think & Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill How To Win Friends & Influence People - Dale Carnegie Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Robert Kyosaki I'm still [S]poor[/S] unwealthy, but at least now I know that I am the only reason for that. And to be honest, I'm OK with it. I don't live in a poor person's mentality anymore. Financial success is there if I want it, I just want other things first. I read A Clockwork Orange when I was in Matric (they actually had it in the school library!). It was a difficult read, all that flopping backwards and forwards to the translations. :) That same year one of our set books for English was The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitgerald. I loved that book and read it in a day. Never read 1984 but we did do Animal Farm when I was in Std 8 (I think). It was a good book. At the moment I am struggling through The Heart Of Darkness by Joseph Conrad as well as Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Also on my bedside table is Faithfull, which is Marianne Faithful's autobiography. Meh, so far. It takes me a long time to get through printed matter these days. I tend to nod off before one page is done. [/QUOTE]
