The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

That's a self-help book, not a novel. It opened my mind to having a plan for life, having a reason for doing what I do - because I have decided that it's worth doing.

I heard about it while channel surfing in 1997, there was Oprah interviewing Stephen Covey and both made a big impression on 20yo me. I jumped onto Amazon and saw some reviews of the book. Back then you could contact the reviewers!! So I asked some of them some questions, and one of them turned in a close and life-long friendship.
