The Shack
The purpose Driven Life

Pretty sure these didnt change the world but they were read by alot of people and motivated or changed how people think.

What about a parenting book? cant think of any but maybe a popular doctor or Dave Ramsey Money Makeover..that has made a difference for alot of people.

Check out this book for some ideas:

"Books That Changed the World: The 50 Most Influential Books"
By Andrew Taylor

I have not read this book, but if the title is true it should have some good ideas for you.

catcher in the rye is where my sons middle name came from.... jude holden.
if you want the same syle as that but short easy read try nine stories by Salinger. i also love anything vonnegut. breakfast of champions is classic, funny, political, and mind opening.
