The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. I know some may think it's a little ridiculous, but it has so many themes, of acceptance, family, friendship, innocence, and judging others, and it really changed the way I think about my life. I also recommend giving the Original Broadway Cast Recording of the musical "Rent" a listen, even though it's not a book. It's absolutely beautiful.

'Ever Since Darwin' by Stephen Jay Gould; it was somewhat religious, but it took a very non-biased look at Darwin's theories versus the theory of creation. An eye-opener.

"Burmese Days" by George Orwell gave me the light regarding the British Imperialism, in other words, the novel has implied there was injustice between the rulers and the ruled especially in a colonial country then like Burma.

I'd have to say "Black Like Me" by John Howard Griffin.
I read it in the early 60's and it made me realize that the stuff my racist family & peers were telling me was hogwash. I've been trying to understand the race ever since, to know what is true.
