For me, I would have to say it was the "Dick and Jane" series of books. That has to be the books that changed everyone's life because it is those books that taught us how to read!
I almost failed first grade because of Dick and Jane! I already knew how to read, so when we were issued the books I just sat there and read all day, ignoring everything going on around me. Once I finished the book I was bored and proceeded to cause trouble for the rest of the year.
