What is a book you have read that changed your life or?

The Tortilla Curtain, by T.C. Boyle. It shows the true dichotomy between the lives of illegal immigrants and white americans. I've always loved Mexican food and culture, but this book made me cry, and showed me how much the "illegals" suffer for their chance at a normal life. Most of those people just want a house and food on the table, but hardly any get what they deserve. This book changed the way I perceived the border issues, racism, and life in general. Albeit, my life is shitty sometimes; but it could be much worse.
