Sword of Kaigen - I liked it but didn't love it while I read it. Then I found myself thinking about it long after putting it down.

Any of the early Dune books also fall into this category for me. I found my love for the series only came about after I finished the first book and realised I wanted to know more about this universe and it's strangeness.

Dune

1984

Slaughterhouse Five

The Road

A number of stories from Ted Chiang's two short story collections, Stories of Your Life and Others and Exhalations

There's probably more but that's what came to mind initially. Plenty of other good books but in terms of what permanently changed my way of seeing the world I think those examples all definitely did.

Is the Pope Catholic? - It's a book about secularism, not religion. I wouldn't pick it up again but I read it at a young age so it's interesting ideas about secularism did get stuck in my head.

The Fountainhead- I liked it because it read like a romance novel, but it wasn't the book itself that stuck in my mind, it was people's reaction to when I talked about the book. It opened my eyes to how controversial some ideas are by people's reaction to it and how a lot of people conform and close their eyes, or act like they are confused about ideas, or that they believe there is a "right" and a "wrong" way to think.

The Midnight Club- Interesting ideas about life, death, reincarnation, and terminal illness. Maybe it was because I was young and I just really liked Pike's YA novels but I felt this one hit deeper and I'll always remember it.

Meditations from Emperor Marcus Aurelius.

A fantastic book (or diary) from Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius that explores his views on life and stoicism.

Favourite book of all time.

Yes, I think they found this book after the writer died. It's set 15/20 years after to kill a mockingbird and let me just tell some characters are just..... something else. Atticus is.... Hum different, Jem is on the other side and Calpurnia, one of my favorite characters, is a character I love and hate about this book. If you want go and check it out, but the advice I give is to imagine that it's a fanfiction and not a sequel
