There's also re-reading books you read as a child and going "Oh, this influencing my development makes a lot of sense"
I'm pretty sure either Black Beauty or White Fang turned me into whatever the hell I am now
That happened to me when I reread the His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman. Those books really influenced a lot of my thinking in a good way.
Oh my god. I never even thought about black beauty influencing me. I always chalked it up to robin hood, star fox and some weird fusion of the dragonriders of pern and the heralds of valdemar.
Les Mis was this book for me, if it wasn't obvious by my username.
Hmmm. Was it? Or were you just a theater kid who was jumping on the bandwagon trends of the time? (Kidding)
