Umm Yeah, Fell by David Clement Davies It's an interesting Fiction. It's not very life changing really but it gave me a different perspective on this the things and people around me.

Yes. I'm fairly certain reading "the Giver" by Lois Lowry in middle school made me interested in the nature of consciousness.

Yeah. I read a book once, i ws 14 years old. The book was, '' A child called it ''. I dont remember the writer's name. The book was based on child abuse by his mother only. She has some serious issues i tell you. She used to stub him by cigaratte, beat him up like crazies and do all sort of sick things with him. I was so moved by the story that i cried nearly for a week. I did my English project on Child Abuse and started a campaign in my school. Various people joined the campaign and it was a huge success. It changed my whole life. I love kids more than i earlier used to. And my aim is to adopt children when i'll become a rich person. Why have children of you own when there are so many yearning for parents love and care ?

Ah. Actually there are many books which affected my life a lot like The Alchemist, The Statistical Probability of Love at first sight etc etc..but this was the main. Moreover, at that time i was a kid myself, in a sensitive age of 14, hence more vulnerable to such stuff.

Freud's The interpretation of dreams,very enlightening book and Nothing short of an epiphany when it more or less explains deja vu.Simply put we can remember things in sleep that we may never recall in waking life.
