Besides the writings of Marx, which I had to read at school, Spinoza's Ethics was the first book in philosophy that I studied as a late teenager. At the time I was obsessed with Jena Romanticism, so it was a natural choice (after Novalis). I don't think I understood it. But it opened the door to the world of philosophy for me.
