Only 3?
1) The Count of Monte Cristo
2) Fahrenheit 451
3) Celestine Prophecy
I may have to read your number 3, seems as I agree to the other two
Just read the first one, the other 2 in the series gets stupid and far fetched lol I've read everything by this guy, and Celestine Prophecy is the only one that I thought was profound.
I would also like to add 1984 and a Brave New World. Super stoked that no one has put Twilight or Harry Potter books as life changing0 -

The Bell Jar-Sylvia Plath
