In highschool, John Fowles' The Magus [1.] really hit me: its twisting plot and content really opened up the world of fiction and writing for me. Great departure from the typical books in highschool English/Literature classes.

William Gibson's Neuromancer [2.] was excellent in providing an escape from reality, very engrossing, and fascinatingly prescient of the some societal trends extrapolated into the future.
