...kids book...but phantom tollbooth was an early transformative ripper for me...the idea that you can travel into your imagination is really powerful to me...
One of my favorite authors is Mark Helprin. His characters always seem to have an inspiring combination of discipline, Stoic virtue and aesthetic sensibility. His most recent book is The Oceans and the Stars. I also loved the entire Patrick O'Brian series.
It was the Overstory for me. It changed me and the way I see the world. No other book has had that dramatic an impact of my. Thanks for sharing your experience with it as well.

I remember that one too!
Wow, I never thought of fiction this way before but it certainly is a deeper way of learning to live through stories and analogies
