Alexandra | 1 comments Ayn Rand - "Atlas Shrugged" and "The Fountainhead" totally blew my mind as a mid-20-something. I don't necessarily resonate with her political and theoretical beliefs, but she weaves stories that are compelling and eye-opening. "Ishmael" was also another that changed my world during the same time in life.

Gini Morgan | 3 comments "Alas, Babylon" and "Fahrenheit 451" affected me so when I read them in high school. I've reread them and still harken back to them in my thinking today. The plasma TVs on the wall and in ear shell speaker things from Fahrenheit 451 are part of our everyday lives now!

Alexandra Perks | 1 comments Ishmael, The Alchemist, The Giver, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 - there are many more but off the top of my head these are the books that changed how I saw the world.
