One book that had a profound effect on me (and I'm serious here) is Twilight. When it initially came out I thought it was brilliant. I was one of the early fans of the book, and recommended it to my friends. Some time after it became really huge and before we went to see the movie, I decided to give the book a second go.
I'd experienced the same feeling as liking a book in the past, but not digging it in the present. At that time I was rereading it, I've grown to be more observant in books, especially the characterization. And it ended up that the book's characterizations put me off. It got me to realize I was getting better at book insights. That was a profound feeling for me.
I guess the usual answers for this thread are the smart, classy books that usually leave you a profound feeling. But I can't forget the intense reaction I had (and profanities I may have uttered) while rereading twilight. And that wins personally for me anyway, hands down.
