[quote=Anonymous]"The Alchemist" made a difference in my life. I was struggling with what I most wanted in life and how to make it happen. We read this in my book club, and in discussion my friend made a connection from the book to my struggles that I had shared, and I was like WOW. Now I want to read it again because I can't remember the feeling anymore. My life shifted, in alignment with what I was wanting.

OK, to be perfectly clear, I wanted a baby, but my age was advanced, and I had conflicting feelings and obstacles. The thing my friend said was about going on your journey, seeking your prize. It cleared things up and I ended up going very actively toward my goal, and now I have a 7yo, can't imagine being without him, he is the light of my life.

"Life of Pi." I like philosophical stuff, I guess. I don't have any life story to go along with it but this is a book that delighted and surprised me, and I always remember it vividly.

The exercise of "deathbed" elicits for me not necessarily my overall faves, but instead the ones that got me existentially, deeply.[/quote]
