Influential Reads

I was just wondering if anyone had any books that are/were a great influence to your life.  So far these books have molded me the most:

1)Atlas Shrugged-Ayn Rand

2)Fountainhead-Ayn Rand

3)Self-Reliance and other short essays-Ralph Waldo Emerson

4)On the Road- Jack Kerouac

5)Fight Club- Chuck Palahniuk

6)Anthem- Ayn Rand

7)Awaken the Giant Within- Anthony Robbins (life changer)

8) When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops- George Carlin

9) Love All The People- Bill Hicks

10) The Bible- human beings

11) Complete Works of Shakespeare-William Shakespeare{Author(s) of these knew a lot about the human condition}

12) Animal Farm-George Orwell

13) Lord of the Flies- William Golding

14) The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn- Mark Twain/Samuel Clemens

15) Pretty much anything to do with Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and Albert Einstein

That is my list, please feel free to add some books I should get onto.  A great book is like a conversation with some of the greatest minds of humanity.  Not something we get everyday, because half the people we know are below average.  Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving and let’s make that last push through finals.
