(#229685)
Steven Levy - Artificial Life (still want to do research in this area)
Douglas Adams - Hitchhiker's Guide (tipped my decision to study mathematics)
Alice Miller - most of her books (makes me view other people in an entirely different light - maybe these books should be way on top of my list)
Richard Dawkins - Blind Watchmaker (Evolution shows everywhere)
Albert Camus - Myth of Sisyphus (although I only read the first couple of pages, still seems the only approach to the "meaning of life" possible. Helped me against depression)
Walt Disney (or actually Carl Barks) - Donald Duck stories, a very good encouragement for wild imagination. Read those a lot as a kid.
