Books are amazing — the impacts they make on those who read them is indescribable. Some books make you laugh, some make you cry, some make your heart race with fear and suspense, and some broaden your mind and make you really think. Sometimes you'll be lucky enough to find a book that absolutely blows your mind; when you finish it you just have to sit back and give yourself a minute to take in everything you just read. They make you see the world a new light. Some make you think about your place in life and how you got to be there, others make you step back and look at the big picture. Whatever revelation they offer, these books are sure to make you take a step back and reexamine everything.
