Hamlet is what rerevealed Shakespeare to me. Now, speaking of forest and trees, what's even more mindblowing is to consider all those plays together, all the characters, (and the sonnets). What range! What scope!
Who else? Melville's Moby Dick blew me away a bit like that too. And Joyce. And Goethe.
