This can be on any aspect of life, knowledge, anything. Please don't say The Bible (if you're Christian), Quran (if Muslim) etc. What text *other than your main religious text*?
Oh, and if you're atheistic, agnostic, non-theistic, etc. what's yours, too?

I think mine is probably the Sandman series by Neil Gaiman. :)

The fact that free will is not. I do NOT have the free will to be thirty once again or even six foot two and 180 pounds. I do NOT have the free will to have been born as the Sun King in 1638 or to have invented the telephone or to have had Natalie Wood just once. Free will is a furphy dreamed up by godsters who lacked the intellect to discern the fact that there are very few things in life that we can actually choose. We can't chose our parents, intellectual quotient, status in society, our teachers. Most of the things we 'can' choose are little more refined than Pavlov's dogs responses to his bells. ~

The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis (yes, the Narnia guy). In it he explains that to non-believe in demons is a mistake, but so is blaming your own failings on them.
ADD:
Illusions by Richard Bach (writer of Johnathon Livingston Seagull).
Cows, Pigs, Wars, and Witches by Marvin Harris.
When God Was a Woman by Merlin Stone

The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel, is my favorite Christian book other than the Bible. It deals with 8 of the toughest questions about faith, God, and Christianity (ie. Why does God allow Suffering, Church history is violent. etc) It offers many logical explanations to each question, and really puts your mind at ease whenever these questions disturb you. This book is for anyone who has deep questions about God. You can get it at any major bookstore.
