Going Postal by Terry Prachett . (period)
Though at first glance this book may appear to be nothing more than a humorous fantasy-type title, there's really much more to it. Prachett uses his world to take issues that most everyone has biased opinions on and put them into perspective, so that perhaps we can see the flaws in our own systems of thought. But most of all, this book contains the best insight i've ever seen on the meaning of the word "hope," an odd thing really, but rather dumbfounding none the less.

Obviously, hard to reduce but currently:
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo because it goes indepth with the human consciousness of truth, love, value, right and wrong, redemption and much more. It contains deep universal themes. It's the very essential book for humanity.

3-way Tie:
"The Neverending Story" by Michael Ende (DO NOT think of the movie). This story about the human search for the self is more accessible, understandable, powerful, and moving than many holy writings of different religions.
"Fall of Hyperion" by Dan Simmons
"Rise of Endymion" by Dan Simmons
Imagine all your favorite movies rolled into one huge, complex epic story, full of character, presented by an author who truly understands humanity, philosophy, religions, and politics and yet who never dwells on any of them long enough to bore those who don't follow those trends...you'll have something approaching these two books.
Before the discovery of Dan Simmons, Tie:
"The Worthing Saga" by Orson Scott Card, which utterly and thoroughly answers the question of why humans have to suffer, even if (rather especially if) God is good.
"Speaker for the Dead" by Orson Scott Card. Things aren't always what they seem.
