Crime and Punishment, legit teared up at the end, it's hard to describe but it found me in a very important time in life and changed up my outlook a bit. Most works by Dostoevsky have improved my life to some degree (even through just sheer enjoyability)

dungeon crawler carl

The Tao Te Ching helped me to understand the flow of energy better.

DARE by Barry McDonagh gives practical advice for managing anxiety - I cannot overstate how much that helped me at a time I desperately needed it. 

Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins has been valuable too. I’ve tried to micromanage everything for so long and need to let go. Ties in with the Tao. 

The Bible, Little prince, Quo Vadis.

The Enemy by Charlie Higson

Life of Pi by Yann Martel

The 'Harry Potter' series, by Jacqueline Wilson

There are probably more but I've forgotten the authors because my brain is decaying.

The Republic by Plato.

Reading them as a child, Aesops fables taught me many lessons people as adults take for granted.

The hobbit is the book that made me go from liking fantasy to loving it. I immediately read the lord of the rings even though at the time it was a bit advanced for me, which boosted my reading comprehension.

Small gods, part of Terry Pratchetts discworld series, was the first truly funny book I read. It made me realize there was more to comedy than dirty or offensive jokes.

The count of Monte Cristo was the first book that made me interested in stories involving more political themes.

Princess bride is just....a really good book. I'm not sure how it changed me, but I know I wouldn't be the same without having read it.

Ihave dyslexia the first book searies I read by my slfe is house of night searies bypc cast and her Doughter Kristen cast .

I have since read vampire academy 

Zodiac academy if your looking for an adult theme novel

I have attempted to read dragonlance

Mercedes Lakey - Magic's Pawn, Promise and Price. Those 3 books I read and it changed my life view on being myself and happily married to the person of my dreams. It gave me the courage to explore and dig deep into my emotions, exploring how my heart feels and loves.  I've read many series since, but none have touched that deep into my personal self like those. 

Doctor Sleep made me feel things for sure

The Midnight Library by Matt Heig for me.

Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment gave me a lot to think about. It's brilliant. The book that moved me most was On the Beach by Nevil Shute.
