Murder In The Family By Cara Hunter
So, I have a confession to make. I had not read a book in close to 10 years because I didn’t ever feel the need too. As soon as I left school, I put reading behind me and never looked back, until recently. I had some extra money, a suggestion for a book that was right down my alley from my boyfriend and went for it. I lost myself in this book, something I am not used to doing but very much enjoyed. This book had such a unique concept to it that I had no chance in resisting as soon as I opened the front cover and turned that first page, I was hooked.

Gift
No other book has had so much effect on me like The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov. And I’ve read many, like most of Russians do. In the beginning of 80s I was lucky to borrow a copy of Khudozhestvennaya Literatura magazine dated 1973 where a full complete uncut version of the book had been published, a surprising oversight by government. There I was, in my early 20s, born and raised in Soviet Union, gone through all the pre coordinated by government stages of a proper soviet child. Patriotism, obedience, and loyalty to the state where the Communist Party had absolute power over everything, were inflicted at each stage, from kindergarten to university.

A Sound of Thunder
I was in the 6th or 7th grade when we had a story "The Vacation" by Ray Bradbury in our reading list. I liked it, which did not happened too often to readings from the school program. And my parents put a book with more stories from the author in front of me. The first one was "A Sound of Thunder". I would say this book affected my life in two different ways. First of all it was the first time I heard about "butterfly effect", and the thought that the smallest movement in the past, may make a huge difference in the future - it was incredible. I remember about it since then and it gave me realization that if something bad happened you never can be sure that if such a thing had not occurred, the world would have been any better today. It gives you some kind of additional perspective when you think about historical events or even personal ones.

The GULAG Archipelago
I've lived long enough now to feel that books rarely change me. Probably the last one was Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt that I read in 2004 or 2005, early in my doctoral program. Even then I wouldn't say that it changed me as much as it shook me in realization that human history was full of misery and suffering universally until quite recently and that we are probably living in the best human times in terms of life's comfort and personal security. And it all is incredibly fragile.
