10 Books that Changed my Life


My personal criteria to judge if I liked a movie or not is: if I wake up the very next day and I'm still thinking about that movie. Therefore in my "Movie" list you can find "Starship Troopers", because I'm thinking about giant insects grinding humans, gory and hypnotic at the same time.

When it comes to books although, at some point of my life I've decided to read not to be entertained but to read in order to learn, like going back to school (how ironic). Therefore my criteria to judge if I liked a book or not is: if the book had an impact on my life and if somehow I've changed after reading it.

Here the list of the books that, one way or another, had an impact on my life. The list is in random order:
