View submission: Books that have changed your life.

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski The book was terrifying on whole new levels to me. It gave me even more things to be terrified about that weren't normal scary things like monsters, plane crashes, terrorism etc.

If you like the style, I highly suggest Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne. I was pretty young when I first read HoL and thought it was unique, but TS is basically HoL with terror replaced by comedy (e.g., LOTS of double entendre) but written 250 years earlier.
