The first novel that I remember reading and making me say 'wow' was either "The Blue Adept" by Piers Anthony, or maybe "The White Dragon" by Anne McCaffrey, which I read in either the third or fourth grade.
But as far as shaping my thoughts and philosophies Fictionwise I have to go with "Once an Eagle" by Anton Myrer. In poetry anything by Robert Frost or Emerson gets my creativity flowing. I still haven't found any Nonfiction that grabs my attention for any longer than the time it takes to read the opening paragraph.
