Books
If you could recommend any book in the world to someone, fiction or non-fiction, what would it be and why? I don't mean just a girly piece of chick lit that had an exciting plot line but a book which inspired you, made you think, changed your outlook etc.
Thanks.

Tuesdays With Morrie truly changed my life...the description on the back of it makes it sound super cheesy, but it's really an amazing book and a true story. I reread it every couple of months and find something new in it every time. Definitely worth a read, I recommend it to everyone.
I also love American Gods by Neil Gaiman- it's not inspiring like Tuesdays with Morrie, but it's a truly incredible book that does make you think. (All of his books are amazing and so hard to describe.)
