OK, so he obviously didn't represent you in your teenage angst (if you had any?) but On The Road is equally potent, for me, being reread as a adult and many people I know feel the same. However, I'll concede that Catcher is not necessairly an "eye-opener" as required by this thread.

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller is a book I've read, and reread many times and each time I find it refreshing. It should probably be on the list.
