What are...
 

the three most important pieces of literature you have read in your life? Or if you want to, you can use a movie or a song or something like that. Also, reasons why would be cool. I wanted to throw this out there, I will respond to it later when I have time.

"Beware the man of one book."

Italian saint & theologian (1225 - 1274)



Or in your case, 1 and a half books.

What do you mean 1 1/2 books?

Re: What are...
 

1. The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint Exupery, because I will never grow up.
2. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, because the treasure that we are looking for is always at our very own backyard.
3. The Last Temptation by Nikos Kazantzakis. No comments

Obviously, "Chosen by God" is heavily influenced by the Bible, and thus your two books aren't different viewpoints. And thus you appear a man of 1 book, which even the theologian Aquinas warned against. If you can only respond with 2 books (1 being the Bible and another a book about the Bible) when asked about influential literature, then you don't exactly come across as a person who takes searching for the truth or expanding their knowledge veryt seriously. Have you found your book of myths that suits your lifestyle, so why bother for more?

1) Last Battle, CS Lewis:

Books read as a kid influenced me a lot. This is as good as any.


2) Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values, Robert Pirsig.

There's something about this book.


3) Theory of Poker, 2+2

Changed my life for ever.
