Post Office

The Mist - Stephen King Cannery Row - Joseph Steinbeck Post Office - Charles Bukowski Dracula - Bram Stoker

Read good fiction. Jack Kerouac - On The Road Kurt Vonnegut - Slaughterhouse-Five Charles Bukowski - Post Office

I'm not sure what "fundamentally" means in this context, but these certainly made a lasting impact upon my young mind: Godel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter Dune by Frank Herbert Post Office by Charles Bukowski V. by Thomas Pynchon Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy Pretty much everything by JL Borges

Vonnegut (Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse 5), Bukowski (Postman). Steinbeck (Tortilla flat). All their stuff is good, but those are my favorites :)
