A Spell for Chameleon, by Piers Anthony. It's the first fantasy novel I ever read. I picked it up from the school book fair on a whim. Led to a lifelong love of fantasy and science fiction. That influenced my college choice (I picked a liberal arts school where I could learn physics and writing; planned to be an SF author). That had a big impact on my life.

The series gets sillier and sillier as it goes on. I haven't re-read it lately, but I still have the copy.
