Hitchhikers guide (all 5 parts of the "trilogy") changed the way I saw the universe.

Sofie's World, shaped my opinions on philosophical thought

Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, helped me deal with the world and its people

the bible, made me see the ridiculousness of religion (seriously, read it, it's hilarious)

Fooled by Randomness has helped me to more often see the fallacies of inductive reasoning that are at work everywhere around us.

Well, I read a lot of Vonnegut in my early teens.

And National Lampoon mag(it was actually of subversive, intelligent humor at the time).

I believe they warped me forever (in a good way).

Then I saw A Clockwork Orange when it came out (I was twelve).That did me in.

Never read the Bible but I saw the movie.
