Some books I have read give me new perspectives and help me improve my principles and understanding of morality/ethics. For Example;
* In the Name of Identity By Amin Maalouf.
* Disordered World: Setting a New Course for the Twenty-First Century By Amin Maalouf.
* The Zhivago Affair: The Kremlin, the CIA, and the Battle over a Forbidden Book by Peter Finn –
Petra Couvée
* A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
* Life of Pi by Yann Martel
* Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
* To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
* Strategy: A History by Lawrence Freedman.
Fiction and Non-Fiction. Genre isn’t important.
What do you recommend books based on these criterias?

*Ethics for Adversaries* by Arthur Isak Applbaum.
Didn’t really change them much, but Bregtman, “Humankind”, and Solnit, “A Paradise Built in Hell” are sort of comfort reads for me, as they confirm the stance I always held about people, despite my parents trying to fill me up with their ideas.
What did – and does – challenge my notions of my principles is not a book but an essay: Singer, “Famine, Affluence, and Morality”
