I first read The Meditations (Marcus Aurelius) when I was maybe 14. The way such a powerful man struggled so much to exert control over his own mind really blew me away. Got me started on the journey towards learning about, and influencing, my own mind.

#23The Watchmen, although technically a comic book Alan Moore tackles a lot of complex existential issues. Also, The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus. How does one find meaning in life in a meaningless world? www.goodreads.com has a lot of great reviews/suggestions as well
I would have put "Sandman" on my list, but might have deleted it for its non-novel status. Thanks for bucking the trend with Watchmen. ;-)

#28I was inspired most by Ernest Shackleton's biography "Endurance" by Alfred Lansing. Finished it one night and remember moment of it. Now whenever I face a difficult circumstance in my life, I just try to remember some situations from that book and my problems look so insignificant.
