The one that stands out for me is The Handmaid's Tale. I'm sure it has as much to do with WHEN I read it (as a teenager) as the book itself. At that time in my life I hadn't really given any thought as to whether I was, was not, or wanted to be a feminist. This book made me think about it, and decide in the affirmative.
I'm curious: is it possible for a book to have a profound effect on you, when you're an adult? I read "profound effect" as "change how you view the world."
