Wow - I've read a lot of these.

If I were to summarize the ones that fit MY taste (so it is more than one)

Ender's Game
Dune
To Kill A Mockingbird
Replay

but that's just 4 - a LOT of these are darn good books!

Girlfriend in a Coma by Douglas Coupland. I've read it countless times, and gone through 3 copies of it (some from wear and tear, others given to friends).

When I was a kid I loved Superfuge. Once and Future King is now my all time favorite.
