Oh yes can't forget The Imitation of Christ - Thomas a Kempis.
I randomly glanced through this book at a church library, and DAMN! I was struck with a touch of cold water or something. I was immediately hooked on the simple but deeply spiritual profoundity of this work.

The Walking Drum by Louis L'Amour. There's lots of things in that book that I have thought about much. I read it the first time when I was 12, and I have read it several times since then just because it's awesome.
