There are a lot of books that changed me, but the ones with the most lasting influence were (in no particular order):
1984 by George Orwell
Catch 22 by Joseph Heller
The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Perdido Street Station by China Mieville
Watchmen by Alan Moore
The Art of War by Sun Tzu
The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
and
Less than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis
They are all purposeful, powerful books, and most of them I found so difficult to put down that I read them in one sitting. (Yes, before you ask, I am and always have been a freakishly fast reader.)
