Before the bible I was a non-fiction kind of reader.. since then I realized how fun fiction is!

How to win friends and influence people - Dale Carnegie
Its just a great read on basically how to talk to people. Its helped me greatly in social situations but mainly on how I speak with clients weather it be in person, on phone or by email.

Honestly, I don't believe that books can change your live. If we talk about non-fiction, you can find a lot of tips on things you need to improve in the blogs (and so on). The secret is to use the information you found out.

I would defy you to read "Wheels of Terror" by Sven Hassel (pen name) and come away from it with no change in your feelings about man's inhumanity to man.

On reading in general . . . once you start mentally picturing what you're reading and not just reading words on a page like you were studying for a math test, realization perhaps becomes internally-centered. I'm not at all convinced that you can get to that point in any single blog posting.

Of course, in the end it's what you do with it that matters.
