THE LIONS OF AL-RASSAN
THE LORD OF THE RINGS
A MEMORY CALLED EMPIRE (and sequel)
GIDEON THE NINTH (and sequels)
ANCILLARY JUSTICE (and sequels)
THE CRAFT SEQUENCE
THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR
THE TRAITOR BARU COMORANT (and sequels)
TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD/GO SET A WATCHMAN
THE NAME OF THE ROSE
All of these changed me and/or the way I look at the world.
WHEEL OF TIME gets honorable mention for introducing me to all of you. Absolutely worth the slog for that alone. This community was a wonderful thing to grow up with.

I haven't read Go Set a Watchman, but what I've heard was... bad. Is it actually good?

I loved it because it tore my childhood hero to shreds in a way that I needed to see.

Cooper's DARK IS RISING and Jones' HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE would make my top 20 for sure.

Same - and that also goes for Mists of Avalon. Even aside from the MZB ickiness. *NM*
