Can there be a single book which influences a person for all his life? For me, multiple books have come in at various points of my life...

  1. Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. Howard Roark was a huge role model during my college days.

  2. Mitch Albom's Tuesdays With Morrie. It kind of gave me a perspective shift.

  3. Frank Herbert's Dune For the love of Sci-Fi it created in me. SFF has been my favorite genre since Dune.

  4. Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper Bit Coin : A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System - For the way it transformed an essentially ethical problem of Honesty into a computable one. Whoever Satoshi is... he is one of the most profound thinkers of our age.

  5. Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens : Well, for scaring the s@#t out of me :)

I read Tuesdays with Morris and it was really a tear jerking experience.
