What's a book that changed your life?

William Shirer's "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich." After reading it, and listening to my father's stories about how he was a hero in WWII (I have seen him riding in a Jeep as one of Patton's MP's in WWII documentary films), I decided to become a Third Reich Historian. In the Winter Term of 1981 at Penn State, I was a graduate student teaching assistant, and I helped my professor teach History of Fascism. In that class, I met a very beautiful woman who sixteen days after the course ended became my soul mate. Our relationship lasted 33 years, 22 days until she was taken by cancer.

The New Testament, especially the Gospel of John
