My favorite series of books would be the Ender's Game series. Reading Ender's thoughts on life truly made me change the way I look at my enemies, and I hope it has made me a better person. My two favorite quotes:
"Every day all people judge all other people. The question is whether we judge wisely." --- Xenocide
"...But when it comes to human beings, the only type of cause that matters is final cause, the purpose. What a person had in mind. Once you understand what people really want, you can't hate them anymore. You can fear them, but you can't hate them, because you can always find the same desires in your own heart." --- Speaker for the Dead
What books have changed you in some way, and why?
