Shortening, just the ones that I've read, with the ones that were a Very Significant Influence on me in bold:

3. The Prydain Chronicles (1964—1970), Lloyd Alexander
8. The Halloween Tree (1972), Ray Bradbury
13. The Dark Is Rising (1965—1977), Susan Cooper
14. Seaward (1983), Susan Cooper
15. So You Want To Be A Wizard (1983), Diane Duane
19. Rats and Gargoyles (1990), Mary Gentle [Along with most other Mary Gentle, really.]
24. Howl's Moving Castle (1986), Diana Wynne Jones
25. The Lives of Christopher Chant (1988), Diana Wynne Jones
28. A Wind in the Door (1973), Madeline L'Engle
32. The Silver Chair (1953), C.S. Lewis [The series in general, definitely an influence; most of all Voyage of the Dawn Treader, though, not this one so much if I recall correctly.]
33. Dragonsinger (1977), Anne McCaffrey
35. The Riddle-Master Trilogy (1976—1979), Patricia McKillip [Not a significant influence, but some of her others like The Changeling Sea definitely are. I mean, that's my favorite book ever on many levels, so how could it not be?]
36. The Sorceress and the Cygnet (1991), Patricia McKillip
42. The Crystal Cave (1970), Mary Stewart
45. Psion (1982), Joan D. Vinge [I'd have to go with The Snow Queen, personally.]
50. Sister Light, Sister Dark (1990), Jane Yolen

And there are definitely others of those which are sitting unread on my shelf. :)
