This is my list of the most memorable books:
All Quiet on the Western Front, Erich Maria Remarque: This book has shown me how brutal World War I was. I have always been aware of this fact, but reading the book has shown me to this even more. Especially this summer when i went to visit Verdun, one of the biggest World War I battlefields, I remembered the book and makes it therefore very memorable for me.
The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Sallinger: I truly enjoyed this book. When I read it I felt like I was Holden Caulfield myself and went on his journey. I think there are a lot of interesting characteristics about him and it was easy to understand the things that he was doing.
The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wild: I read this book as my summer reading and it made me aware of a lot of things in life. It showed that youth does not last forever and that I have to enjoy my youth as long as I have it. Further, I think that the language Oscar Wild used was on a very high level, which made the book an own piece of art.
Chariots of the Gods, Erich von Daeniken: I read this book a couple of months ago because I saw von Daeniken on a TV show called "Ancient Aliens." His work is for sure one of the most memorable due to his completely new approach on history. His ideas on aliens building the pyramids and extraterrestrial spaceship airports are ideas one won't forget. It was a fun read, even though his arguments were hard to belief.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Arnold Schwarzenegger: This read was the most fun I ever had. The book consists out of two parts, the first which is an auto-biography of him, and the second part consists out of fitness tips. Even though he has had some trouble lately, I am still a great fan of him and his story. I love how he came from a small village near Graz, Austria, changed to be the most successful bodybuilder ever, became a great movie star and even managed to become California's Governor. What a story, it is the American Dream.
