I read both this and Fountainhead just out of high school after a friend kept saying how good they were. Some good points were made without a doubt... other's I didn't agree with like yourself. Then again that goes with saying with any philosophy.
A book that changed me? I would have to say the Hobbit only because I read it when I was 10 and it opened another world for me. Barker's Imajica, Card's Ender's & Pastwatch books, as well as Douglas Adams works soon followed.
Book that scared the shit out of me? Amityville Horror. Swear to God after reading that everytime I looked outside my window at night I saw Jodie's Red eyes.
Oh I know this is going to sound silly.. Nicholas Spark's The Notebook. I was bored one day and saw my GF was reading it so I figured what the hell.. I was crying like a baby at the end only book that's ever done that to me.
