What books have impacted your life?

I had emailed Ash for a list of his favorite book as a way to expand knowledge and now I'd like to throw the question back at each of you. What books have had such a powerful impact that you would list them as a favorite? Here's my list.

Papillon - Henri Charriere
Gone with the Wind - Margaret Mitchell
Travels - Michael Chrichton
The Flyswatter: How my Grandfather Made his Way Around the World - Nicholas Dawidoff
The Clan of the Clave Bear - Jean M. Auel
Cheaper by the Dozen - Gilbreth (nothing to do with the movie)
The Sword and Scimitar - David Ball
The Power of Myth - Joseph Cambpell
Zen and the Beat Way - Alan Watts
The Zahir - Paulo Coelho (and the Alchemist if you haven't already read it)
