Any good books out there that changed your perspective about life? Or any novel that you read that got you thinking about your life?

a few,yes.
Ayn rands works are earth shattering I wasn't really sure what to think after reading her stuff. Dale Carnegie has a good point, 1984 got me thinking even more and apparently shattered a friend's world, made him change from communism to capitalism, and a brave new world was thought provoking.

Oh man! You know, I read this book called "Thirteen Reasons Why," the first book I ever went out and bought. It's a teen novel, or scholastically known as YA novel, about a guy who gets a package of tapes made by a girl who kills herself two weeks before he gets them. The tapes spell out each reason why she chooses to end her life. It's a hell of a read!! It's by a guy named Jay Asher, and I discovered it like two years ago in the class I took right before I started my student teaching. It's seriously epic!!

The great gatsby changed my life. It was the first book I ever truly fell in love with. For whom the bell tolls is another one like that. The scarlet pimpernel can also be put on that list.
As far as changing my life, I'd also have to say Ayn Rand, especially the fountain head and atlas shrugged, though her essays are beautiful also. Also, a lot of poetry has to go on that list too, Dickinson and Comings to name but two.
I could go on and on.

Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. It's a massive book, buy if you read it, and if it's your thing, you'll understand

"Stranger in a strange land" by Robert Heinlein made me a hippy in the sixties.
Still am.

oh yeah, franks book was quite interesting just not the context in which we read it. that was definitely interesting. I like those kinds of books a lot, non-fiction beats a lot of fiction books and anne-frank though not my favorite, I admit is good.
Thomas paine's the book common sense is really rather good so is harriet Jacob's incidents in the life of a slave girl. as I become older, the more I love nonfiction. it shows a lot more of the world to you, or rather it sort of gives more perspectives on things. I mean we were never there in the 1800s and we would never have understood slavery, or in the 1940s and would never understand the holicost as frank herself did.
