Essay - C.S. Lewis - The weight of glory. Caused me to see all beauty in a different light.

Novel - C.S Lewis - That hideous strength. Caused me to stop thinking of conspiracy theories as people huddled in a room like the Illuminati.

Runner ups - Les Mis - helped me love the less fortunate 1984 - the importance of language.

Now I’m dissatisfied with what I put. There are just so many but these popped in my head first. Saw others put “the moon is a harsh mistress” ++ to that. LOTR I feel like changes me for the better with every re-reading.
