I don't know if it's changed my perception, but it's a book that I've read many times in different stages of life and found it to entertain me in new ways....if that makes any sense! And I find that the main character and I think in the same nutty manor.
And that book is "The Catcher in the Rye".

i would say the koran.
this was in stark contrast to the existing order of judeo/christianity with a 4000 yr history. the koran encouraged military subjigation, called war (particularly conversions) holy, enslaved 1/2 their population, set forth a very distinct and consistant set of laws, dietary constraints, and lifestyles.
look at what the west has to deal with today.
never before has one religion/mind set had such an impact on 2 other religions to the extent that the koran has today.

Any book written by Scott Adams. (I'm not joking.) It's the reason I left corporate America and started my own business and run it without all of the silliness that's taken over the business world.

Honestly I can't pin point just one book because I feel that many books have helped to shape me in many ways and show me different points of view on life.

1984 by George Orwel
one of my favourite books, the way that future is being portrayed in this novel amazes me because eventhough it was written 1949 (I think) is not very far from what's going to happen and what's happening nowdays in my country.

How to win friends and influence people. By Dale Carnegie
When you understand why and how people do things, it makes dealing with them much easier.

Maybe Brave New World
It seems to become more and more applicable with time.
