The Shining. I was probably 14 and my parents didn't really want me to read it, so I'd read it in the basement, so I had enough reaction time if they came down the stairs. I remember sitting there reading it in silence and the phone rang and I jumped. We had one of those rotary dial phones that had an actual bell in it when it rang. It was right next to me and scared the crap outta me.
