- Really change my life and how I deal with being an introvert. It really cut down on my anxiety and helped me realize that a lot of things I thought were weaknesses are actually my strengths.
Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
- as a refugee and an immigrant this really helped me understand and identify with the American experience. 
Native Son by Richard Wright
- introduces me to very complicated concepts around race relations in a beautifully lyrical and raw manner
I also loved Quiet. It was so refreshing to hear a different perspective on my personality type.
