I recommend it to everyone. Great way to get introduced to Turkey and it's people in the days when the republic was very young.
What's the most powerful book that you've read?

I'd have to say it was when I read "The Legend of the Thousand Bulls" by Yasar Kemal.

I don't know. I honestly don't know.
What do you mean by powerful? Depending on your meaning it could be "1984," "The Lord of the Flies," "The Island of Doctor Moreau," etc...

A book that really moved you and made you think and appreciate life more.

Made me think, well, all three of those, along with others, like "Anna Karenina" or Michael Crichton's "A State of Fear."
Appreciate life more? I can't think of any.

War & Peace is pretty hefty, especially in hardback. If you heaved it at someone, they would feel it.

You should try Samuel Richardson's Clarissa. You could cause genuine grevious bodily harm with that monster.

Reading is incredibly difficult for me as I only started learning English recently (four years if you round up). I haven't really come across anything along the lines that your described yet.

Probably something by I.M.Diakonov (semi-socialist historian) or Arnold Toynbee (semi-spiritualist historian) or Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus (both stoic philosophers).

No god but God by Reza Aslan.
It was recommended to me by a friend. The book explained Islam in a way that was both historical and fascinating. Couldn't put it down and now I've read it three times. I highly recommend it.

Harry Potter books, when I first read it I was amazed. The universe itself is great. Who doesn't want to go to Hogwarts?!

Do you mind If I ask you some personal questions about learning a new language, your age etc?
I'd like to learn Italian, still am but I like some tips.
I'll send you a pm if you like.

Ehmmm, you could read books in your native language or from authors that's from your country too. Just because Tolkien is famous world wide doesn't mean he's the only good author out there
