Life­hacker picked up on Kevin Kelly’s book list (one of the lists I wrote about here) and sub­se­quently asked its read­er­ship what books changed their lives. The results were duly com­piled in The Books That Changed Your Life. The top ten:

  1. The Bible
  2. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (Dou­glas Adams)
  3. The Foun­tain­head (Ayn Rand)
  4. Zen and the Art of Motor­cy­cle Main­te­nance (Robert M. Pirsig)
  5. Atlas Shrugged (Ayn Rand)
  6. The Stranger (Albert Camus)
  7. 1984 (George Orwell)
  8. The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings (J.R.R. Tolkien)
  9. Ender’s Game (Orson Scott Card)
  10. Dune (Frank Herbert)
