Default Ten Books that Affected You

One of the new games going around Facebook is listing ten books that affected you (no particular order). Don't have to be deep, just ten books that meant something to you for one reason or another. Thought it could be fun here. I'll put up my FB list:

Black Beauty- Anna Sewell
The Last Unicorn- Peter S Beagle
Perfume- Patrick Suskind
D'Aulaires Book of Greek Myths- Ingri D'aulaire
The New Jim Crow- Michelle Alexander
Little Women- Louisa May Alcott
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy- Douglas Adams
When Abortion Was a Crime- Leslie J Reagan
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry- Mildred D Taylor
The House of Mirth- Edith Wharton

Of course, there are oodles more, but honorable mentions to Dean Koontz's Phantoms, which is not a good book, but scared the bejesus out of my 12-year-old self, and Gone With the Wind, which has not affected my worldview or anything, but which I think I read about 50 times between ages 19-35.
