Dune.

I think I first read it when I was 12 or 13.

It was my first introduction to the idea of religion being used cynically by people with ulterior motives.

It was my first introduction to the idea that a human being is more than just the animal homo sapiens. That it is our actions that run counter to our animal responses that separate us from beasts.
