I guess the books that literally most changed my life were the ones I read in college, because once I got a degree I really started moving up in my career. So I'm going with Business Accounting, Physics I and II, American History, etc.

Now if you want to talk about the best books I ever read, that is a horse of a different color. I'll list these in no particular order: Last of the Breed, The Light Between Oceans, The Great Santini, The Prince of Tides, The Green Mile, The Hour I First Believed, The Cider House Rules, Tuesdays With Morrie, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, Cold Mountain, Snow Falling on Cedars, Lord of the Flies, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, The Memory Keeper's Daughter, The Help, I Know This Much is True, oh Lord, I could go on and on. I do love a good book.

Love your list. I'd add The World According to Garp and A Prayer for Owen Meany. She's Come Undone. But that's a whole 'nother thread.
