im trying to think...

"tom sawyer" because it was the first novel i read as a little kid and it fueled my imagination at an early age

the first book that truly blew my mind wasn't a novel but a book of short stories-- "ficciones" by borges. he never wrote a novel.

hesse's "demian" and "steppenwolf" were huge for me when i was 18.

"the unbearabe lightness of being" and "love in the times of cholera" changed the way i think about sex and relationships.

"neuromancer" in terms of understanding the value of science fiction and how to deal with the future.. it changed my imagination about the future.

there are others but this i recall right now.

ps- ha ha toko, we have a couple of those in common!
