Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
Directly, she used the book to prove why capitalism is a better economic system than communism. But the more valuable lesson is that of hard, honest, straight-forward work. The good guys in the book are brilliant, strong, and savvy--exactly the kinds of people you wish you knew.

Catch-22. About the effect of war on people.
Lonesome Dove. The characters were all alive for you and the TV-movie did a fantastic job of capturing who they were.
Non-fiction: Team of Leaders. I had a much better clue as to how lucky America was to have Lincoln serving during those times.
Tons more, I'm sure. There's a lot of great books out there.

Every Mothers nightmare it was about the Bulgar boy not too much detail about the actual murder but more of an insight about the kids that did it. i have never looked at children in the same way since. the sad part is that their actions were not that much different to some of the children of today it was a case of they ignited an evil spark within one another that no one could recognize

Robert Heinlein's "Red Planet" back in grade 7 (1950). It was my first science fiction novel, and I got hooked on the genre for the next 50 years.
