An interesting list, quite a few new to me so I look forward to checking them out.
My addition would be Huxley's 'Brave New World'. I read it in my early teens, and it really did change my life (reading the right book at the right time!).
It totally altered my conception of what it was to be human, the mind-blowing potential of technological advance, and the inimical role of politics in philosophy.
I put that book down a different person to the one who'd picked it up.
