I would add Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End to any list of life-changing books. Slightly more current would be the Beggars in Spain trilogy by Nancy Kress. And even further back: H.G. Welles' War of the Worlds (not the movies, the book).

All of those books gave me profound perspective-shifts on life and humanity, more than any of the list of twenty (or any other books mentioned by others here).

Last one: Satan: His Psychoanalysis and Cure by the Unfortunate Dr. Kassler, J.S.P.S. by Jeremy Levin.
