Really hard to say.
* "Lord of the Rings" - it introduced a world of fantasy and I am eternally grateful to J.R.R. Tolkien for that.
* "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (Douglas Adams) Discworld-seroes (Terry Pratchett) - Fantasy/SciFi can be funny but still deeply philosophical
* Last of their kind (Douglas Adams) and later "Selmon in doubt" (Douglas Adams) - Life is much too short
* "In 300 Jahren vielleicht" (Tillmann Röhrig) (I dont think there is an english version, but the title translates to 'Perhaps in 300 years') - it was the first book I cried over. Story: 5 days in a little village during the Thirty Years' War in Europe. I was 12 when I read it, and it moved me deeply.
