The Sneetches and Other Stories, or really any other book by Dr. Seuss, which showed me that being weird and different can be beautiful. The story about the sneetches, though, had a good message about not following fads and being an individual.
Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. It was the first book I read that gave me a real itch to want to be a writer.
1984 by George Orwell. It opened my eyes to how language can be manipulated and people can easily hold contradictory ideas.
