The Darkangel! I remember reading the first book and being fascinated by the strange and wonderful world Aeriel lived in. And then having to wait several years for the other two books to come back into print.
Dealing with Dragons and the Redwall books played a big role in my childhood-- instead of pretending to be a princess, I ran around climbing trees and hitting things with swords a lot :D
I've been meaning to read Monstrous Regiment... I love the Discworld books, especially all of the ones about the Watchmen. If I had to choose, I think Jingo would be the one on my book list, because it's got the perfect balance of humor and drama, and it's the first really well-written book in the series. The climax gave me goosebumps :)
