Infinite Jest. I was bored and looked up challenging books. It was the first one that came up and I bought it the next day after reading the wikipedia article. Since then I have fell in love with literature, philosophy, and learning in general. I'm also very glad that I read it before being poisoned by /lit/

And Then There Were None desu

It really sparked my autistic obsession with the mystery genre.

But, at the same time, I hate that book. It changed how I read murder mysteries, and I just see them as games now.

The Little Prince by Exupery

It taught me the essential wonder of literature and life when I was very young, and kept me asking questions long enough to open the larger world of literature to me when I was older. It's a beautiful book.

Ulysses, with which made me regain my passion for reading.
The Portrait of Dorian Gray and The Importance of Being Earnest.
Those three works made me wonder at the genius just one person has, and the abilities required to take the devices at hand and make such wonderful masterpieces.
