Not a mystery book at all, but I have to mention it anyway. It's the book that has had the most impact on me. I'm sure we all have one such special book, tv series etc.
It's a science fiction book written ages ago by Frank Herbert: Dune. I read it the first time when I was twelve but don't mistake it for a youth adventure, it's a masterpiece for adults.
It's not space planes and laser swords like much scifi crap is. It's take your breath away descriptions of a desert planet, it's eco system, it's indigenous people, the struggle between two powerful rivals to control the unique planet's resources and most of all, it's a study in the human mind and the whole spectrum of greatness and evil it is capable of.
Let me just say: Mentats!
If you're just gonna read one scifi in your life, try this one and don't forget that there are several sequels...
