What are the top books that have influenced YOU?

In the course of the discussion over Christian History’s list of the Top 25 most influential spiritual classics,  it was suggested that we talk about what spiritual classics have been influential to us, personally.  That’s a great idea.  (Thanks, Paul.)  Let’s make it a little easier.  You don’t have to list 25.  The books don’t have to be “spiritual classics,” as such.  Our focus is on faith and theology, but I’m also curious about other kinds of influences.  So I’d also like to hear from those of you for whom politics or philosophy or ideology has been more formative than faith and theology.  What are the top books that have been the most influential in your life?
