Harry Potter I thought it would be a piece of crap but it is actually a brilliant book (series!) as long as you accept it is a childrens book and can ignore the MANY errors and contradictions in it.

The book the Art of the Steal by Frank Abagnale totally changed my mind about fraud - I thought fraud was a crime commited by corporate executives, but as he explains fraud intertwines it's way into almost every facet of today's society - great read if you are interested in crime at all.

I have read a few books, mostly about health that have changed my life. I have changed diet and what I eat. Most of them were written by Elson M. Haas

The book Wheels of Fire, by Mercedes Lackey and Mark Shepherd. It is an urban fantasy book, and it tells the tale of a boy, who ended up in the hands of a cult. It was, in reality, one of the most brutal stories I have read. Not because it was one of her best written books (it wasn't) or because of a great plot (it wasn't the best), but because it told graphically, how things can be in a cult. Even today. And that, in itself, was scary. I will never do as so many do, and look at cults as 'a bunch of crazy lunatics'. Even lunatics hurt people.
