But so far I remember, I was very much impressed by the two following books during my high school days.
1. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
2. The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Thanks.

Thank you all for this great source of valuable books for me and everyone eles .Thank you so much.
Books are our companion ,it is our full for thought & mind which my said view I have in one of reply indicated that How to stop worrying & start Living & Autobiography of Yogi which has inspired me from my development during my earlier days & for the latter it has been my spiritual guideline .
This is my personal opinion
The Holy Quran, I believed it is the most important book before reading it and I will not stop believing in that.
Thank you so much for great contributions.
I wish you mentioned the reason for your choice.
Thank you anyway.Wish the best for you.
The best books that I have read are those of The Baghdad Clock, by Shahad AL- Rawi. The book begins by telling you the ending, and what pushes you is the intrigue of how that ending had happened, and what has happened in the middle. It is sort of a fantastic autobiography, its language is incredible and engaging, the story is great, and the magic is to some extent based on scientific principles. Some people do not like the protagonist because he is a genius in many aspects (he is my profile picture), but I find him really well-written.

This question should ask only for research based books, or non-fiction category books written by researchers for public. People are mentioning above all sorts of books ranging from religious to scientific. Whats the point of this question then. Kindly limit the range of answers so that this post can be beneficial for all.
Dear Tarun,i appreciate the notion you mentioned.I don't disagree with setting limits to the range of answers but i think it is completely up to every person who wants to answer this question.
The question is about the most important book in every aspect.So every one can mention a book or two for 2 , 3 or more aspects like religion,fiction,research in special field,academic and so on.......or just name only one.
Thanks to all of you for contribuitons.

What is the most important book you have ever read?
I haven't gone through other religion's books & hence may be premature to make any comment. To date I find Bible is the most important book I'd ever read reason being - every time I read certain verses again, I find renewed interpretation or inspiration that change my understanding on certain things / aspects of life. To me it is a living book. Not sure others share the same view or feel free to share. Thanks.
The Tirukkural shortly the Kural, is a classic Tamil text consisting of 1,330 couplets or Kurals, dealing with the everyday virtues of an individual. Considered one of the greatest works ever written on ethics and morality, chiefly secular ethics. It was authored by Valluvar, also known in full as Thiruvalluvar. The text has been dated variously from 300 BCE to 7th century CE.
