Five Books You Must Read in This Lifetime

Reading Catcher in the Rye made me think about the books that I've read with the potential to change a life. That in mind, here are the five books that I believe everyone must read. I'd be interested to hear what others have to say.

  1. Walden by Henry David Thoreau
  2. Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy
  3. The Captain's Verses by Pablo Neruda
  4. The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
  5. The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis by Jose Saramago
