Btw...this is a GREAT question!

Thank you, I thought it would be useful for people across time to come, visit, and sharpen themselves intellectually.

@OrderOutofChaos That was my first thought when I saw where it was going. I hardly read fiction anymore but it is still difficult to find good authors.

This is a challenging question because I have enjoyed so many good reads through my life... I have decided on: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl ... finding meaning in life regardless of the circumstances

“Witness” by Whitaker Chambers. Best written book of the 20th Century in the form of a letter written to his children to explain why he became a communist, underground spy and his decision to escape. Incredible book. I have read it about 6x over the last 20 years. He is also an incredible writer.
