I need a book to change my life.?

I am a huge literature fan, but I feel like I’m missing out on a life changing classic. What I’m looking for is a book that is full of philosophies and characters I can identify with. Quotable passages, beautiful writing, ect. I need a compendium for my life.
Books I am a fan of are: Catch 22, Catcher in the Rye, of Mice and Men, Night, To Kill a Mocking Bird,
I mean I also love authors like Tolkien and Dahl, but they may be not as sophisticated. I’m looking for something that when im depressed I walk out in the rain with a cigarette and some vodka (I don’t smoke or drink), and read this book, which eventually gives me reason to live. That all sounds rather dramatic and poetic, but it would be sweet.
How about “Walden”? Or “One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest”?

Some books change your life but don’t exactly make you feel as if you’re on Cloud 9 as they do it. For instance, 1984 is one of the most important reading experiences most people can have, but it doesn’t do what you’ve described: picking you up when you’re down and out and making you want to live again. So you’ve given us a question harder than we realize….

I guess I should say that there are a few scattered through here that, although they don’t end on the most upbeat of notes, still manage to inspire the reader to carry on the spirit of the inspiring characters or make the reader aware of how very important one person can be in the scheme of things.
