The Book(s) That Changed My Life

One book that "changed my life" is Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis. Scar Tissue is an autobiography about Anthony Kiedis growing up and his journey with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Red Hot Chili Peppers have always been a favorite band of mine, but I didn't know much about them. In fact, I saw the book in the music section at Barnes & Noble, and my aunt told me a little bit about it because she had read a review on it. I bought the book, and read it immediately. I really enjoyed it because I had read biographies on other artists, but this was different because it was straight from Anthony Kiedis' mind about his personal life. Kiedis has the kind of life that people will want to read about, I think that's why it was such a good book. He added humor when needed, but most of it was written in a serious tone. Reading this autobiography made me want to read more non-fiction books. Now, that's mostly what I enjoy reading (but I love a good fiction book to "escape from reality").
