A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
by Ishmael Beah
Whenever you feel like complaining about your life... don't. One of the few books that caused a real physical reaction in me. A powerful autobiography of a man who started out as a boy in hell. More impressive than the fact that he survived as a child soldier in Sierra Leone is that he has clearly turned into a phenomenal human being. This is required reading for everybody. I can't possibly describe how incredible and enlightening it was to read this book. I always asked myself "How does this happen?" Now I know.
