The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, by Robert Heinlein. I read that when I was in high school over 30 years ago and it had more impact on me (no pun intended if you’ve read it) than anything before or since, I think. I read Stranger In A Strange Land shortly after and that one did a number on me, too. Heinlein’s place in the pantheon of science fiction gods was well earned.
For lighter stuff, the Scions of Shanarra series, by Terry Brooks, is one I have gone back to many times.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is also my favourite book!
