#15Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin
The premise was simple: In 1959 a white reporter used makeup to make himself have black skin. He then traveled around the southern USA. Even as a child it was easy to see how people treated him differently even though he was a white man underneath. The racism was undeniable.
Animal Farm, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451 gave me even more reasons to question authority.

#19I've read "the lord of the rings" when I was 12, over the course of 3 days. Eat, sleep, go to bathroom, and read. Probably the biggest impact a book ever had on me.
