Man's Search for Meaning - Viktor Frankl
Make sure you read that, not the one with "ultimate" in the title. That one, the follow up, is boring.
Down and out... by George Orwell is also very eye-opening whilst light-hearted.

Crime and Punishment.
It explores suffering, free will and determinism, politics, charity, morality, ethics, philosophy, theology, law, psychology, but also has great characters and is a thrilling reading.
Can there really be a God in a world of such evil? Are people who commit crimes really responsible?
Can breaking the law ever be justified, as a means to an end? Can murder ever be justified- in the case of a vile old abusive, miserly crone who's near death anyhow and plans to leave her money to 'rot in a monastery'?
It has large parts that are practically stream-of-consciousness too, so it's quite revolutionary in terms of its style.
My favourite ever book from my favourite author (Dostoevsky). Two things Russians are good at: chess and writing novels.
The names can be a bit annoying at first (they all have about three different name variations 'cos they're Russians and that's how they roll), but persevere and you will be rewarded (if you have good taste).

Hey, I'm looking for a read with an impact. Something that once I've read it, I'll feel epiphanised.
Recommendations?

Thanks for helping me get the rush you get from re-reading a book you haven't in ages, and realising why you loved it in the first place.
