Love that book. Anybody remember the name?...

The Sneetches.

The Lorax was a personal fave too. i also greatly enjoyed The Man by Vaugn Bode. also his Deadbone Erotica. so simple yet so powerful.

Re: Books that opened your consciousness...

The butter battle book by Seuss was the most consciousness expanding one for me. (Of Seuss that is) I also learned Horton hears a who was a sort of awakening of Seuss's consciousness. Supposedly he was at some point racist and after WW2 and the bombing of Hiroshima had a bit of a moral awakening that changed his view on the world. he then became very outspoken against racism. I'm going to have to read Horton hears a Who again because since I learned that, it will put a whole new slant on the book.

Sneetch was a good one too, so was the Lorax and... Well I've never read a bad Seuss.

To give her credit, Naomi Wolf is the author of The Beauty Myth.

A consciousness-changing book for me:

The Chalice and the Blade by Riane Eisler
