Riverworld by Philip José Farmer. It was a magnificent adventure and exploration of different philosophical ideas, especially for a teenager. It left me with the impression that even simple things can be mysterious and part of a bigger plan. The star rover by Jack London. It helped me put in perspective some difficult moments and be a little bit more resilient. I also liked how much humanity and dignity the main character has, despite being held in jail in horrible conditions. I can say the same things about Papillon by Henri Charrière. Neuromancer by William Gibson. Fueled my imagination and even gave me a semi-fantastical narrative to live by. Ficciones by Borges. Like others said was mind opening. Poésies by Arthur Rimbaud. A bit to play it off - and get laid - but on a more serious note I liked the rebelliousness and the romantic sense of infinite in his poems. I can still recall some bits of that "infinite".
