Sun Tzu's "The Art of War"

I personally prefer Sun Tzu Art of War, because after reading and researching on it for more than 2 years, I find it very useful, in business, in work and in life. Seldom you can find a book that has application in so many areas. But if you are talking about purchasing a book to read on Art of War, I recommend that you find free version of it on the internet.
But take note when you are finding a good translated English version of the Art of War. Preferably get a book or translation that is translated by a Chinese, because they would be the one that can bring out the essence of Art of War. I recommend a book by Prof Wee Chow Hou. You can find the link at the Source.
Hope it helps your decision. And have fun reading!
Another thing to note, I have no idea what the other 2 bks are though :P

I would have picked Dante / part II il Purgatorio, but only if you've already the part I - L'inferno - otherwise you should pick it instead.
The Paradiso is not that nice and Nietzsche is overrated.

Sun Tzu's Art of War

That's hard, but I'd go with Nietzsche, but Dante would be a close second (Part III then Part II if you've read them before, if not, I like them in order).

Nietzsche, without a doubt. Save your money for the rest of them.
