The Noticer by Andy Andrews is a great reading experience.  Jones has the gift of perspective.  He notices the things that others don't.  With this gift the old man enters the life of people in a small town, who have found themselves in desperate painful places, and shows them a new perspective.

I couldn't put this book down and read it all in one sitting.  The lesson Mr. Andrews teaches on perspective is one we would all do well to learn.  I definitely suggest this for your reading lists.
