It's difficult to name a single book, but one that did have a tremendous impact on me was Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein".

My top favs are..
The Celestine Prophesy (James Redfield)
The 7 Spiritual Laws of Success (Deepak Chopra)
The Stand (Stephen King)
A Brave New World (Aldous Huxley)
Contact (Carl Sagan)
Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! (Richard Feynman) Wiki page
What Do You Care What Other People Think? (Richard Feynman)
Desperation (Stephen King)
The Regulators (Stephen King, written under his pseudonym Richard Bachman) (These two book have cross-over themes and the same characters, the way it all ties together is very interesting and intriguing. I recommend reading both of these novels back to back.)

Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman (James Gleick)

Stephen King's The Stand ...unabridged version.
"The ontology of materialism rested upon the illusion that the kind of existence, the direct "actuality" of the world around us can be extrapolated into the atomic range. This extrapolation is impossible however."
