It's hard to say, since the stylings are so different between them. I'd say the Canterbury tales shows some of the best versatility in writing styles the things I've read, but I enjoy quite a lot of other things.
Though I'm not one of them, some would argue that the bible would fit as that, since it's one of the most widely read and well known.
