Mmh, Definatly His Dark Materials. Also, Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse was pretty amazing. Had to read it for a summer english assignment, and I'm glad I did.

I've been thinking about this a little bit and that's pretty much the book that propelled me into really superbly enjoying reading.
TornRGDoll:
I Never Promised you a Rose Garden by Joanne Greenberg
it's a story of a young mentally ill girl in an institution who makes a choice to be healthy and fight for mental health. Really moved me in my teen years.
The Stranger, The Fall, and The Plague by Albert Camus
I read them in their original french and in english. the imagery and philosophy in his work is exceptionally moving. Anything by him is worth a read..
The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King
possibly because I waited so patiently and so long for each installment to the seven book series and loved every word.. there seriously is like.. an emptiness now that the series is done and I'm not even sure if the ending was satisfying.. eugh.
Three Junes, I forget the author, read it for my AP LIT class.
a billion more because I'm a readoholic.. heh. but I wont bore you anymore.

Yeah me too. When I get the time I read a book a day. Nothing else, internet doesn't hold my attention like a good book.
Other books that changed my life:
Night's Dawn Trilogy
Tomorrow When The War Began series
Takeshi Kovacs series
lifelesseyes:
The Perks of Being a Wallflower - everyone I know who's read this says it changes their life, and it's true.
The Chronicles of Narnia
Harry Potter (shut up, they're good)
The Art of Fiction by Ayn Rand - changed the way I write forever, and she's less creepy than her fiction
More, I'm sure
