If you were making a list of books everyone should read before s/he dies ...?

Question

what is the first book that you would think of putting on that list, and why?  I'm afraid I'm not after a list of classics or answers such as "The Bible," but books you've read that have been well worth the reading and have meant something to you.  Thanks!
