Honestly, I normally just read chick lits, but I'm looking for a few good books that can really provoke thought and put things into perspective for me.
Lately I've just been really down constantly feeling sorry for myself, and I'm looking to change my outlook. Any recommendations?

Are you looking for novels or self-help type books?
I read a cute little book that made me think about my priorities in life - it's called Small Change: The Secret Life of Penny Burford. It's a quick, enjoyable read. |

Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but I just read The Shack by William Young and it really made me think about life and God and why things happen in the world. |

The Shack..haven't finished reading it yet, trying to bring myself to tonight but it's actually really affected me and made me re-think my life a lot.

After reading/hearing about The Shack I really wanted it to change my life...it didn't.
