The most important biological book ever written"
Charles Darwin,
On the origin of species by means of natural selection, or, The preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life.
London: John Murray, 1859.
Darwin's most famous book was at first envisaged as only a brief overview of his central case, that "species have changed, and are still slowly changing by the preservation and accumulation of successive slight favorable variations." Inevitably, it drew in a broad range of the issues and evidence he had been contemplating for so long. He began writing in July 1858, and the whole text, totaling nearly 500 pages, was in proof by the following September. By the time it was first offered for sale to the public, on November 22nd 1859, the first edition of 1250 copies (less review and presentation copies) had all been taken by the trade. Darwin's apprehension about public response to the book can be seen in his careful choice of the two epigraphs that face the title-page

On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.
It's commonly known as Origin of the Species, was published in 1859, and introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection.

Sure, 'On the Origin of the Species' is the most famous book, but one should not ignore, and one should try to read, Darwin's 'Voyage of the Beagle'. Surely his most entertaining book! You can read it online for free!

It's a toss up between the noble, "Slap My ***** Up" and the ever so elegantly written, "The Origin of Species".
I'm leaning more towards the "Slap My ***** Up" though, I don't know why.
Good Luck
