This is one of my favourite novels of all time. An unusual novel for Walker Percy in that it is a romance.
One of the first books I finished this year, it gives a comprehensive story of the English language. It is also an extremely good cure for prescriptivism.
This is a fascinating account of Augustine's very unique position on Jews and Judaism.
When my supervisor asked me who I wanted to mark my thesis, he felt the need to add "You can't have Funki, because he is dead." This book by a Jewish atheist gave me the confidence to argue that theology shaped natural philosophy.
Staying in my field, this was another non-marker (difficult time for her, I think, or perhaps just not interested in something more historical than philosophical: she was asked). A move towards a kind of neo-Aristotelianism in the philosophy of science.
Duhem is another one in my field who completely changed my idea of how science works.
