I'm surprised Brave New World only made this list once. I read that in 8th grade and it's stuck with me ever since.
American Gods by Neil Gaiman is another one that's stuck with me. In my mind the best piece he's written yet, it had me looking around corners for weeks, just wondering... It's also the book that got me hooked on coin tricks.
White Noise by Don Delillo. Amazing book. Got me into plenty of debates with my parents and teachers on the subjects of life, worth, death, and a handful of other universally pertinent issues. (Note: Not even remotely the same thing as the movie of the same title... In fact, I hate that they do because people kept asking me recently if it was the book the movie was based on.)
