My first big one (at eleven years old) which really got me into writing was Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" which I have mentioned several times in the forum.
Others as important:
"The Brothers Karamazov" - Fédor Dostoyevski
"The flowers of evil" - Charles Baudelaire
"Complete Works" - Alejandra Pizarnik
"Ulysses" - James Joyce
"Run with the hunted" - Charles Bukowski
"On the road" - Jack Kerouac
"Rayuela" - Julio Cortázar
And there may be more.
*EDIT: Oh you said novels. Well I included a couple poetry books that were VERY influential for me in their time.
