Listing everyone who's thought has influenced my own would take a very very long time, but here's a good start...

The entire 1960s/early 70s counterculture movement
Marx
Lenin
John Lennon
Engels
Trotsky
Bobrovskaya
J. S. Mill
John Locke
Rousseau
Nabokov
Yevgeniy Zamyatin
music

intelligent discussions with others
Thomas Hobbes (I hated Hobbes...)
Douglas Adams
Bukharin
Lewis Carroll
and the list goes on indefinately... I've read a lot more philosophy or works containing philosophical ideas that have rubbed off on me to a large degree, but for a Sunday morning, this is as much of a coherent list as I can put together in the span of around 35 seconds...

My list like others is longer than this. Though I posted a similar post like this is the new Nazi guild. What's interesting is half of them have Jefferson and Paine on the list, not so shocking Marx and Lennin and so on.
