I am slowly sipping the following chapter by chapter: The Invitation, by Oriah.

I can think of lots of other good ones but none that I would call life-changing... I'll think about it more.

Tripmaster Monkey: His Fake Book by Maxine Hong Kingston changed the way I see a lot of things.

The last book to knock my socks off was The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon. Of course it also made me cry, a lot, and not just in the fun way.

I think very highly of Pattern Recognition by William Gibson.

Tracks, by Robyn Davidson. She went across the Australian Outback alone, with camels. And she's a hell of a writer.

That is a great but terrible question to ask! Here are two from me:

Michel Foucault, Discipline + Punish.
Cheikh Hamidou Kane, Ambiguous Adventure.
