Lifehacker picked up on Kevin Kelly’s book list (one of the lists I wrote about here) and subsequently asked its readership what books changed their lives. The results were duly compiled in The Books That Changed Your Life. The top ten:
- The Bible
- The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (Douglas Adams)
- The Fountainhead (Ayn Rand)
- Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Robert M. Pirsig)
- Atlas Shrugged (Ayn Rand)
- The Stranger (Albert Camus)
- 1984 (George Orwell)
- The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings (J.R.R. Tolkien)
- Ender’s Game (Orson Scott Card)
- Dune (Frank Herbert)
