I was introduced to The Prophet in my junior year of high school, when a senior that I really liked gave me a slip of paper and told me to think about it.  I was embarrassed by the insight, and promptly checked out the book from the library, then bought it and I have owned a copy ever since in different formats.  Often dismissed as pop psychological babble by critics since the book was first published in 1923.
