Hi everyone,
So as many of you know, I am quite business oriented, and also I love the idea of going to the moon, and mining asteroids, and a space elevator, and basicly anything to move Humanity beyond Earth.
I feel like most of who I am today is a result of the books I read. Orson Scott Card's Ender series is a huge life changing for me. The next really important inspiration in my life is Ben Bova, and his tour the solar system series. I read his books more recently, and his portrayal of the power of businesses are what inspired me quit ea bit to go into business.
So how about yall? Any books have such an impact on you, that it changed the way you see the world, and your own life, and the future you want for yourself? Any authors?

The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness by Elyn R. Saks was when I began to notice more traits about myself. It was haunting at first, but it really helped me down the line.
The book's a first person account of a schizophrenic. She goes into italics when describing her delusional states or voices, which helped with establishing the differences between her two selves.
Otherwise I am a big fan of unreliable narrators. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was where I noticed that interest.
