I have read many books, but up to date I keep three on my nightstand:
The Antichrist, by Frederich Nietzche;
The Art of War, by Sun Tzu, Cleary's version
Don Quijote de la Mancha, By Cervantes.

Blimey - everyone reads the classics (most of which in my opinion are tedious and overly long and in a prose that is dated along with the storyline). That said I like the style of Bram Stoker's Dracula; Contemporary, I like "And the Band played On" a fictionalised story of the five bandsmen and how they got to the point of the Titanic sinking; And I like 'Birdsong' by Sebastian Foulkes. But probably all time favourate is "Cyrano D'Bergerac" a play by Philip Rostrand. A rose should ever smell as sweet!

This question was really too difficult for me, so I had to name several of my favorites:
Great Expectations
The Grapes of Wrath
Huckleberry Finn
Little Women
The Awakening
Wuthering Heights
Jane Eyre
The Memoirs of Cleopatra
The Hiding Place
Catch 22
Farewell to Arms
The Founding Brothers
Gone With the Wind
Bridges of Madison County
My Utmost for His Highest
The Scarlet Letter
The Giver
The list goes on and on.....
These books have each spoken to me in different ways, and have left a profound influence upon me in one way or another..

Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy
by Jostein Gaarder, a Norwegian writer. It's about the history of philosophy with a twist. It is actually a conversation (via letters) between a 14 year old girl named Sophie and a very mysterious man Alberto Knox. The book is quite entertaining plus you learn a lot about philosophy with its easy to understand explanations.

The very best was Princess by Jean Sasson. It helps you to understand what women are going through in the Middle East. A truly great book.
