I love reading so my best books are in different categories...

Savage Inequalities by Jonathan Kozol made me realize I wanted to teach in a hard to staff high needs area...so in a way it has 'changed my life'. His other books on education in the Bronx in addition to my own Bronx teaching experiences have further confirmed that I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing, career wise at least.

Why I Wore Lipstick by Geralyn Lucas changed my view on Breast Cancer....a true story of courage and strength by a young NYC woman...

two fabulous books I've read for a class at some point in my education are The Awakening by Kate Chopin and The Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. Just great stories.

and I have to agree with
The Five People You Meet in Heaven as well, what a great book!
