I think books effect everone differently, and theres really no book "everyone" should read, because everyone is different. I think "Go Ask Alice," is a great book about a teen who went in so many different directions, and how drugs completely shattered her life. It most definently made me think about drugs seriously and how they can really turn a persons life around.

I think people interested in Japanese culture should read "Memoirs of a Geisha." I've always been interested in Japanese history and their culture, and this is definently one of my favorite books of all time, after reading it three times and memorizing the lines, I personally reccomend this to anyone.
