People are listing books that turned them conservative:
I, however, read (not all but some) of these books after I became a conservative. Zygmunt Bauman, a Marxist, turned me conservative. Poor dude would have been horrified.

Bauman’s Liquid Love is an ode to stability and permanence in personal attachments. There’s nothing more conservative than that.
