Hyperion - Dan Simmons. I mostly only read fantasy books until this book opened up my world to sci fi.
Price your book at $3.99 and I'll trade wait. Make me wait too long for the trade PAPERback and I'll say screw it. I'm looking at you Marvel and Spider Island.

When in grade school I was introduced to The Hobbit, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and 1984.These three books fueled my love for reading.I enjoy almost all genres of books but I will always love Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Crime/Noir Fiction and History.
My daughter is six years old and I keep telling her that the world of books await her in the future.

The Dog Who Wouldn't Be by Farley Mowat made me appreciate not just reading, but the everyday details of life.
Slaughterhouse Five by the master Vonnegut really solidified it."It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things" - Kermit the Frog

The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell completely shattered everything I thought I knew about religion, mythology and story as a whole. My outlook on life would be very different today if it wasn't for this book.

Fahrenheit 451, Animal Farm and Behold the Man absolutely shaped my worldview and my philosophy.
To Kill a Mockingbird is largely responsible for my line of work.

Odyssey from River Bend played a large role in making me the fan of science and knowledge I am today.
Also, it helped solidify my love of reading.
