Franny & Zooey
Brave New World
the Bible (both because it's spiritually significant to me and because I've spent a lot of time reacting against it)
Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love
I'm not sure that I'd say the His Dark Materials trilogy changed my life, but it would have, maybe, if I'd come across it earlier.

Ooh, good one. I read and wrote about this in college on the advice of the professor I had a probably unhealthy attachment to, so it has some icky Fi stuff attached to it now, but it was very meaningful to me and probably did change me.
Well said. This is what I meant by "maybe not for the reasons people might think."

How the Mind Works by Steven Pinker
Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond
A Conflict of Visions by Thomas Sowell
The Retreat to Commitment by William Warren Bartley III
The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins
Conjectures and Refutations - Sir Karl Popper
The first two helped get me thinking, the third broadened those thoughts, the fourth solved a difficult problem, the fifth was intellectually inspiring and the last was enlightening.A criticism that can be brought against everything ought not to be brought against anything.
