Reading my Old English textbook in an English class made me change my major from "Undecided" to "English Literature" and I am pretty sure I would have benefitted more from being Undecided (though Old English classes were amazing).
What books inspired you to change majors in college? For, me, the two hardest books I read in sophomore year were the ones that nudged me from majoring in genetics to majoring in psychology -- and they were both in a Continental Philosophy course, not a psych course.pic.twitter.com/kIVHR6Npvn

For the record, not a bad idea for people to read it, regardless of major. Old English lit is neat, and you'll even find some fun words that inspired Tolkien (who was an OE scholar):https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Old-English-Bruce-Mitchell/dp/0470671076 …

Partly my chemistry textbook and partly The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene nudged me to switched from English to chemistry. The Selfish Gene made me switch to molecular biology.

I came in as philosophy major due to CS Lewis' Mere Christianity. Added History and Philosophy of Science due to Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions and Religious Studies in part due to Wittgenstein's Lectures on Religious Belief.

Also, Gadamer's Truth and Method knocked my socks off and solidified my interest in continental philosophy.
