Holiday Book Lists

It's that time of the year where I begin to prepare the list of books that I hope to devour over the holidays- but never quite accomplish...

So I am looking for ideas. What is your favorite book that:

1) Changed your life or perspective on something important to you
2) Is a must read bestseller
3) No one has read, but should be a bestseller (could be Finance related)
4) Is a Classic
5) Is Intellectually Stimulating

I look forward to reading the responses and some of the books mentioned!

 

There's a book I read 2 yrs ago written by one of my former college professors...it's about his memories while in a south european country but his word choice was truly amazing.... if you're the type who appreciates well-written, descriptive literature that literally paints a profound scene in your head, i'd highly recommend it. im normally the type for science fiction and mystery books and find most non fiction boring, but this one really got me.

unfortunately, i forgot the name at top of my head LOL. will post back later when i get home.

 

What kind of books do you want to read?

Memiors? Adventure books? Finance books?

I could recommend hundreds if not thousands of books I have read. So narrow it down a bit.
