Ray Bradbury’s “The Martian Chronicles” got me to see how creative and poetic fictional prose can be.
Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road” changed where I thought the limits of conventional literary prose could be pushed.
Hunter S. Thompson’s “Hell’s Angels” showed me how unique a person’s perspective and voice could be.

Poisonwood Bible, Barbara Kingsolver. Multiple points of view, each one interesting and with an instantly recognizable voice.
