The Odyssey - because of the great influence it has had over all of European (or better say broadly and vaguely Western) literature and culture. And because it’s essentially a celebration of humanity and human wits and creativity.
The Bible - I hate sounding like every other Hollywood star, but here it is - defo one of the greatest books out there because of how much of it stands at the origin of our culture.
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov - probably due to my research interest in narratives. Nabokov is a master of narration. Manipulation of sympathy through the power and beauty of language at its best.
Animal Farm by George Orwell - as a reminder of something we tend to forget more than ever in the last decade.
Voilà my list of worthwhile reads. Initially, I thought about it as a list of books to read before you die, but it’s more like a list of books to read before you live. There’s lots of wisdom and useful knowledge in them. And obviously, there are plenty more which could (should) be added. Hope you enjoy them if you haven’t already :)
《奥德赛》—因为它对整个欧洲（或者更广义地说是西方）文学和文化产生了巨大的影响。因为它本质上是对人性、人类智慧和创造力的颂扬。
《圣经》—我讨厌这一点，听起来像其他好莱坞明星一样，但在这里，它是世界上最伟大的书之一，因为它在很大程度上代表了我们文化的起源。
弗拉基米尔·纳博科夫（Vladimir Nabokov）的《洛丽塔》——可能是因为我对叙事类具有研究兴趣。纳博科夫是一位叙事大师。通过语言的力量和美感来操纵同情。
乔治·奥威尔（George Orwell）的《动物农场》（Animal Farm）—对过去十年中我们更容易忘记的事情进行提醒。
这些就是值得一读的书目。最初，我认为这是一份死前要读的书的清单，但它更像是一份生前要读的书单。他们富含很多智慧和有用的知识。显然，还有很多可以（应该）补充的。如果你还没有读，那么希望你喜欢它们。

I really love the works of Isabel Allende. Loved the House of the Spirits, and the Island under the Sea. It just spoke to me, somehow? Her words are descxtive, vivid, and they took me on a journey. One moment I turned the page, another moment the page had disappeared and I was riding the lonely wide plains of Argentina. A few more pages in and even a naturally blue-haired girl made all the sense in the world…
It’s that special brand of magical realism many of the Latin literary masters seem to excel in. You’re reading, and you’re sort of scratching your head in the beginning but not for long — before you know it, you’re in it, and that’s exactly how I love my books. Are they the best books of all time? I’m not sure. Probably not. There are a LOT of great books out there. But they struck me, and they stayed with me, somehow. Life is kind of magical, sometimes. If you’re light enough to feel it and quiet enough to observe it. It’s rare to find someone who can put that into words.
I’ve read many books by many authors and I’ve enjoyed most of them thoroughly — the ones I did not enjoy a chapter or more into the tale, I did not finish. Somehow the works of Isabel Allende stayed with me the most strongly. I’ve never been in her country and while I would not fancy myself an expert in any way… I somehow feel, as if I’ve been there. It’s a special type of writer that can leave you with that impression.
我真的很喜欢伊莎贝尔·阿连德（Isabel Allende）的作品。我喜欢《精灵之屋（the House of the Spirits）》和《海底岛屿（the Island under the Sea）》。她的文字生动，带我踏上了一段旅程。一会儿我翻了这一页，一会儿这一页又消失了，我在阿根廷孤独的广阔平原上骑马。再读几页，甚至一个天生的蓝头发的女孩都是有意义的……
这正是许多拉丁文学大师所擅长的魔幻现实主义。当你阅读时，一开始你会挠头，但很快你就会发现，你已经沉浸其中了，这正是我爱书的原因。它们是有史以来最好的书吗？我不确定，可能不是。还有很多很棒的书。但这些书让我产生了印象，不知怎么的，他们一直和我在一起。生活有时有点神奇。如果你足够轻松，能够感觉到它，并且足够安静，能够观察到它，很少有人能把这些用语言表达出来。
我读过很多作者的书，其中大部分我都非常喜欢——有些书我不喜欢，读一章或更多一点，我就没看完。不知怎的，伊莎贝尔·阿连德的作品对我的影响最为深远。我从未去过她的国家，而我并不认为自己是任何方面的专家……我不知怎么感觉好像去过那里。只有特殊类型的作家才能给你留下这样的印象。

Jenny Hawkins, Hyphenated; non-hyphenated. That's irony.
I will list the ten “best” books as the ones that changed my way of thinking—and not necessarily the ones I enjoyed the most, or even the ones I reread the most often.
Les Misérables; when I was 15, reading this book altered my perception of rules and law and what constitutes justice. I read it while weeping with empathy, knowing it used that emotional appeal, and still, it opened a door in my mind and heart into a worldview that had room for forgiveness and grace alongside justice.
To Kill a Mockingbird; the book credited with motivating the civil rights movement showed me something of what love is, how ugly hatred really is, and the dark underbelly of my country. It motivated me to see and support change.
The Art of Reasoning; I have a natural inclination to be both logical and analytical, but this book helped me take that to another level.
Evidence that Demands a Verdict; the first of a long line of its kind, it has inspired many imitators, and while it may no longer stand as the best among the more modern books in this category, it remains the book that began the evidence and faith movement. It opened my eyes to a world of questions as reasonable—and perhaps answerable.
我会把十本“最好”的书列为改变我思维方式的书，不一定是我最喜欢的书，甚至不一定是我重读次数最多的那些。
《悲惨世界》：当我15岁时，读这本书改变了我对规则和法律以及什么是正义的看法。我一边读一边感同身受地哭泣，知道它利用了情感的吸引力，它在我的思想和心灵中打开了一扇门，让我进入一种世界观，在公正的同时也有宽恕和优雅的空间。
《杀死一只知更鸟》：这本被认为激发了民权运动的书让我看到了什么是爱，仇恨有多丑陋，以及我们国家的黑暗面。它激励我去看到并支持改变。
《推理艺术（The Art of Reasoning）》：我天生就有兼具逻辑性和分析性的倾向，但这本书帮助我将其提升到另一个层次。
《铁证待判（Evidence that Demands a Verdict）》；作为这类书的第一部，它激发了许多模仿者，虽然它可能不再是这类更现代的书中最好的，但它仍然是开启证据和信仰运动的书。它打开了我的眼界，它让我看到了一个充满疑问的世界，其疑问是合理的——或许也是可以回答的。

The Formation of a Persecuting Society; written back in the 80’s, no one has disproved its theory since. It asserted that the rise of secularism and the centralization of power is what caused the terrible persecution of the middle ages, (including that which took place abetted by the church), that the secular state was the leader in persecution as a method, and continues as such today long after the church ceased persecuting people, closed its Inquisitions, and disbanded its troops. This contradicted the commonly held hypothesis that the church was the sole or even the primary source of this evil.
The Western Humanities; offers a view of history from the perspective of individual human input rather than the perspective of large wave events such as war and politics where the individual is lost in the scope. Studying history this way made me realize all history is really the history of individuals. We miss that because it’s easier for us looking backwards to deal with broad sweeps—not because that’s the way it really would have happened. All history is a record of individual decisions.
《一个迫害社会的形成（The Formation of a Persecuting Society）》；早在80年代，就没有人反驳过它的理论它断言，是世俗主义的兴起和权力的中央集权导致了中世纪可怕的迫害(包括那些受到教会教唆的迫害)，世俗国家是迫害方法的领导者，并且在教会停止迫害人民、关闭宗教法庭、解散军队很久之后仍然如此。这与人们普遍持有的一种假设相矛盾，即教会是这种邪恶的唯一甚至主要来源。
《The Western Humanities》；从个人投入的角度来看待历史，而不是从让个人也迷失在其中的战争和政治等大事件的角度来看待历史。通过这种方式学习历史使我意识到，所有的历史实际上都是个人的历史。我们错过了这一点，是因为我们可以更容易地回顾过去，以处理大范围的问题——而不是因为这是事情真正会发生的方式。所有的历史都是个人决定的记录。

Critique of Reason; Kant changed my “perspective” on everything. :-)
The History of Christianity; like so many out there I thought I knew—then I learned I knew nothing. This was actually one of my text books, published by Oxford University, since I went to a secular school, and it completely changed my understanding of Christianity and western culture.
Sophie’s World; is a layman’s introduction to philosophy which I bought for my children and liked so much (skipping the intro about God) that I have bought versions and given them away to many.
The Bible; this is the book that actually changed my life, my values and point of view on most everything. I was upside down and it turned me right side up.
These are books that helped form the foundation of my worldview. There are others that have had powerful input as well—my first introduction to Physics—the Rise of Christianity by Stark, The Hunchback of Notre Dames, books on suffering, character development, and the value of redemptive suffering, but while they were impactful, these ten were foundational for who I am and what I believe. For me that makes them “best.”
《理性批判》：康德（Kant，德国哲学家）改变了我对一切事物的“视角”
《基督教史（The History of Christianity）》：像许多人一样，我以为我知道——后来我发现我什么都不知道。这实际上是我在牛津大学出版的一本课本，因为我上的是世俗学校，它完全改变了我对基督教和西方文化的理解。
《苏菲的世界》：是我给孩子们买的一本外行人哲学入门书，我非常喜欢(跳过了关于上帝的介绍部分)，所以我买了一些版本，送过给很多人。
《圣经》：这本书实际上改变了我的生活，改变了我的价值观和对几乎所有事情的看法。我头朝下，它把我翻了个正着。
这些书帮助我形成了世界观的基础。还有其他一些书也对我产生了巨大的影响——我第一次接触物理学，斯塔克写的物理学：《The Physics of Christianity》、《巴黎圣母院》、关于苦难、性格发展和苦难救赎价值的书籍，虽然它们很有影响力，但这十本是关于“我是谁”和“我的信仰”的基础。对我来说，这使他们成为“最好的”。

Some days back I had argument with one of my family member. Don’t know why but I was unable to come out of that incident. Whole day I used to think about the possible outcomes, if and what not.
Finally I decided to stop this all and divert my mind towards something else. Then I remembered that I have a book kept in my luggage
I thought of giving it a try. And to my surprise I became addicted to the book. Though a self help book is suppose to read in longer span of time so that you can derive the ideas in your life. I read that book madly and completed it within 3 days.
Trust me my mind completely diverted from current scenarios of family to personal growth.
I started thinking that what I can do best to improve my life. And how to do it using available resources. Though I am still unable to fully apply those concepts in my life but I am now much happier and constantly thinking something constructive like writing this answer…
几天前，我和我的一个家庭成员发生了争吵。不知道为什么，但我无法走出那件事。我整天都在想可能的结果（如果没有的话）。
我想试一试。令我惊讶的是，我对这本书上瘾了。虽然一本自助的书应该在较长的时间内去阅读它，这样你就可以从你的生活中获得灵感。我疯狂地读那本书，三天之内就读完了。
相信我，我的心思完全从家庭的现状转移到了个人的成长上。
我开始思考我能做什么来改善我的生活。以及如何利用现有资源。虽然我仍然无法在我的生活中完全应用这些概念，但我现在更快乐了，并不断思考一些建设性的东西，比如写这个答案。

The three best books that I think I have read till now are as follows:
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green: This is one of the best young adult fiction I have ever read. The story of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters will keep you hooked till the end. I have read this book four times and I still cannot get enough of it. I would definitely suggest to all the book readers and even who are beginners. This is actually a great book to start with.
2. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini: Khaled Hosseini is a brilliant writer and all the books written by him are amazing and amongst those three books, this is my favourite one. The Kite Runner is a story of a boy named Amir, from Kabul and his closet friend Hassan.This story is set during the time of fall of the Afghanistan’s monarchy by the Soviet army intervention, the exodus of all those refugees to different countries like Pakistan and United States and the rise of regime of Taliban.
3. The Oath of the Vayuputras by Amish Tripathi: The third book in the Shiva Trilogy and one of the finest novels ever written by Amish Tripathi. A must read book for all the mythological fiction lovers out there.
Hope y’all like it!
我认为迄今为止我读过的三本最好的书如下：
约翰·格林（John Green）的《星运里的错》（The Fault in Our Stars）：这是我读过的最好的青少年小说之一。黑兹尔·格蕾丝·兰开斯特和奥古斯都·沃特斯的故事会让你着迷到最后。这本书我已经读了四遍，可我还是看不够。我一定会给所有的读者，甚至是初学者提供建议：这其实是一本好书。
卡勒德·胡赛尼的《追风筝的人》：卡勒德·胡赛尼是一位才华横溢的作家，他写的所有书都很棒，在这三本书中，这是我最喜欢的一本。《追风筝的人》讲的是一个名叫阿米尔的喀布尔男孩和他的密友哈桑的故事。这个故事的背景设定在苏联军队的干预下，阿富汗君主制的垮台，所有这些难民都逃往不同的国家，如巴基斯坦和美国，以及塔利班政权的崛起。
阿米什·特里帕蒂的《瓦尤普特拉斯的誓言》：湿婆三部曲的第三部，也是阿米什·特里帕蒂写过的最好的小说之一。这是所有神话小说爱好者的必读之书。
希望你们都喜欢!

Last year, I read a book named "Zero to One" by Peter Thiel and Blake Masters. And its starting line was so inspiring. I really love this book.
Here are these lines:-
Every moment in BUSINESS happens only once.
The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won't make a search engine and the next Mark Zuckerberg won't create a social networking work. If you are copying these guys, you aren't learning from them.
Of course, it's easier to copy a model than to make some thing new.
Doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar.
But every time we create something new, we go from 0 to 1.
That was really a master piece. Everyone must have to read this book once a while.
去年，我读了彼得·蒂尔和布莱克·马斯特斯的一本名为《从0到1》的书。它的起跑线是如此鼓舞人心，我真的很喜欢这本书。
以下是这些句子：
商业中的每一刻都只有一次。
下一个比尔·盖茨不会开发操作系统。下一个拉里·佩奇或谢尔盖·布林不会创造搜索引擎，下一个马克·扎克伯格也不会创造社交网络作品。如果你要复制这些人的成就，你就不会向他们学习。
当然，复制一个模型比创造新的东西要容易得多。
做我们已经知道怎么做的事情，将世界从1变成n，添加更多熟悉的东西。
但每次我们创建新的东西，都是从0到1。
那真是一幅杰作，这本书每个人都必须偶尔读一遍。

K. McBride, Retired English teacher
Up until about a year ago, my favorite book was To Kill a Mockingbird. I taught it to my honors classes when I was still teaching. However, last year I kept seeing all of these glowing reviews about a book, The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. At the time is had been rated as 4.9 by over 20,000 reviews on Amazon. It was not my usual genre of choice, but I decided that it must be something special for such a unified view that the book was nothing short of amazing.
From page one I was hooked. I read it instead of eating, sleeping, watching tv etc. I loved it and never wanted it to end. As I read, I cried, laughed and looked up pictures of the setting in the South of France to understand the geography as I read.
I can’t say enough good things about this book. From breathtaking to heartbreaking settings to heroic bravery and risk taking, Nightingale is a about love, endurance, and strength. It is about having the kind of strength to get through things you never believed you could.
直到大约一年前，我最喜欢的书是《杀死一只知更鸟》。当我还在教书的时候，我很荣幸，我教过它。然而，去年我一直看关于克里斯汀·汉娜的《夜莺》一书的好评。当时，亚马逊网站上有2万多条评论给它打了4.9分。这不是我通常选择的体裁，但我认为它一定是一种特别的东西，因为它的观点如此统一，以至于这本书简直令人惊叹。
从第一页我就被吸引住了。我读它代替吃饭，睡觉，看电视等。我喜欢它，从不希望它被读完，当我阅读时，哭过，笑过，我查阅了法国南部的背景图片，以便在阅读时了解当地的地理环境。
我对这本书赞不绝口。从惊心动魄到令人心碎的设定，再到英雄般的勇敢和冒险，南丁格尔是一部关于爱、耐力和力量的电影。它是这样一个内容：拥有一种力量去克服你从未相信自己能做到的事情。
Up until about a year ago, my favorite book was To Kill a Mockingbird. I taught it to my honors classes when I was still teaching. However, last year I kept seeing all of these glowing reviews about a book, The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. At the time is had been rated as 4.9 by over 20,000 reviews on Amazon. It was not my usual genre of choice, but I decided that it must be something special for such a unified view that the book was nothing short of amazing.

Mark John Fernee, works at University of Queensland
I've only read it once many years ago. However it still haunts me. It's set in a bleak windswept countryside. There are no violets and daisies to lighten the mood. The protagonists have all died and all that remains is the mark they left on the people. It is these people that tell the story.
It's a love story. A story about how love can affect people in ways that are not always good. It's characters are deeply flawed and downright unlikable. The harshness of the landscape is reflected in their attitudes and behaviours. Yet the longing and yearning in them both is an undercurrent that drives the narrative. As much as their characters are unlikable, you want them to unite. It's as though, if they did, much of the bleakness would be overcome and the darkness would lift. However, that's not what happens, and the consequences ripple through the years. Many people suffer and are brought to ruin. Then eventually, the scars of the past are forgotten. New lives eventually spring up in that barren wasteland of past misery, and they bring a new hope. A new love story is begun, and you can't help feeling that what could have been has finally come to pass. It's as if the long cold winter had finally given way to the flowers of spring. It brings lightness, promise, and closure to a sad history. You can't help wish that had things gone otherwise, all the misery could have been avoided. The closure feels good, but a lingering thought of what could have been remains. We still can't help but feel for our flawed protagonists because they loved each other. They stay with us, although life has finally moved on…
The novel is of course, Wuthering Heights.
多年前我只读过一次。然而，它仍然困扰着我。它的背景是一个寒风萧瑟的乡村。没有紫罗兰和雏菊让你放松心情。主角们都死了，剩下的只是他们在人们身上留下的印记。正是这些人讲述了这个故事。
这是一个爱情故事。一个关于爱如何以不总是好的方式影响人们的故事。它的角色有着深刻的缺陷，完全不讨人喜欢。恶劣的环境反映在他们的态度和行为上。然而，他们两人的渴望和向往都是驱动叙事的暗流。尽管他们的角色不讨人喜欢，但你希望他们团结一致。就好像，如果他们这样做了，那么大部分的黑暗都会被克服，黑暗也会消失。然而，事实并非如此，其后果会随着时间的推移而波动。许多人受苦受难，最终身败名裂。最终，过去的伤疤被遗忘了。新的生命最终会在过去苦难的贫瘠荒地中出现，它们带来了新的希望。一个新的爱情故事开始了，你不禁感到，原本可以发生的一切终于过去了。仿佛漫长的寒冬终于让位于春天的花朵。它给一段悲伤的历史带来了光明、希望和终结。你会情不自禁地希望，如果事情没有那样发展，所有的痛苦都可以避免。这样的结局让人感觉很好，但对原本可能发生的事情的挥之不去的想法依然存在。我们仍然会情不自禁地同情那些有缺陷的主角，因为他们彼此相爱。他们和我们在一起，虽然生活最终还是继续......
小说当然是《呼啸山庄》。

I have complied the following list of 5 must-read-books and I have given very short explanations as to why one should read them:
Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom: A book on everything that one needs to know about life and nothing about anything else
Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie: I am a big fan of thriller books and this one did complete justice to being a first class thriller! The high point in this one is that it shows that a murder needn't always have a murderer
The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy: The story was compelling but it was the narrative style and the extraordinary use of metaphors which made me fell in love with it
Paths of Glory by Jeffrey Archer: My first Jeffery Archer and this one has set my expectations from his other books really high! Amazing tale of strength, grit and passion
Life of Pi by Yann Martel: I insisted on reading the book before watching the movie because the book is a literary treat. The author beautifully illustrates the concept of God and spirituality in a fictional avatar without being preachy at all
Hope this helps :).
我列出了以下5本必读的书，并简要解释了为什么要读这些书:
米奇·阿尔博姆（Mitch Albom）的《相约星期二（Tuesdays with Morrie）》：一本关于人需要知道生活才是一切，而别的什么都不是的书。
阿加莎·克里斯蒂（Agatha Christie）的《东方快车谋杀案》：我是惊悚小说的忠实粉丝，这是本堪称一流惊悚小说！这本书的的亮点在于，它说明了谋杀案不一定总是有凶手
阿兰达蒂·洛伊写的《微物之神》(The God of Small Things)：故事引人入胜，但正是它的叙事风格和非凡的隐喻运用让我爱上了它。
杰弗里·阿切尔的《光荣之路》：我看过的的第一本由杰弗里·阿切尔写的书，这本书让我对他的其他书寄予了很高的期望！力量、勇气和激情的惊人故事。
扬·马特尔写的《少年派的奇幻漂流》（The Life of Pi）：我坚持在看电影之前读这本书，因为这本书是一种文学享受。作者在一个虚构的化身中完美地阐释了上帝和灵性的概念，而不是说教。
希望这能有所帮助。

Charvi Kalra, Life,it happens.
There was a time when I would read 2 or 3 books per week. Then MBBS happened.
While the academics now are heavy that shouldn't be an excuse for me to stop reading and giving up on my first love/hobby. I've started again, because what I've realised is that you need to have a wider perspective of the world and sometimes a break from the monotony of our own schedules.
Though there can never be a top 5 or 10 favourites, these are a few that I've gone back to over 2 or 3 times:
( I won't give a summary because I feel Goodreads does that way better than I ever could)
The Naked Face by Sidney Sheldon
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
The Kite Runner by Khaleid Housseni
The Snowman by Jo Nesb? ( which I had read about 4 years back and is going or already has been made into a movie)
Impossible by Danielle Steele
Born of Fire by Nora Roberts ( the entire series is good)
The Murder on the Orient Express By Agatha Christie
Hound of Baskerville by Arthur Conan Doyle
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud.
有一段时间，我每周会读两三本书。然后开始攻读临床医学学士学位。
虽然现在的学业很繁重，但这不应该成为我停止阅读和放弃初恋/爱好的借口。我又开始读书了，因为我意识到，你需要用更广阔的视角看世界，有时也需要从我们自己单调的日程安排中解脱出来。
虽然不可能有5本或10本最受欢迎的书，但以下是我回顾了2到3次的一些书：
（我不会做总结，因为我觉得好读网在这方面做得比我以往任何时候都好。
西德尼·谢尔顿的《裸脸》
弗拉基米尔·纳博科夫的《洛丽塔》
Khaleid Housseni的《追风筝的人》
尤·奈斯博的《雪人》（大约4年前我读过这本书，现在正在或已经拍成电影）
丹尼尔·斯蒂尔的《不可能》
诺拉·罗伯茨（Nora Roberts）的《浴火重生》（Born of Fire）（整个系列都不错）
阿加莎·克里斯蒂《东方快车谋杀案》
阿瑟·柯南道尔的《巴斯克维尔的猎犬》
保罗·卡拉尼什写的《当呼吸化为空气》
西格蒙德·弗洛伊德的《梦的解析》。

Thank you for A2A.
So the list goes like -
The Godfather. Must read.
Tuesdays with Morrie- It gives you a completely different persective. Your views about life will change if you read this book. I have read it for like 7 or eight times now.
The Alchemist.
The Secret
Think and Grow rich
Rich Dad Poor Dad
Sherlock holmes. I have completed each and every book written by Sir Arthur Conan. They are available for free in iBooks, in case you want to read it. Apart from that I have few books on Sherlock written by different authors but they failed to keep me on the edge.
Jason Bourne full series. All 15 novels.
Digital Fortress, Inferno, Origin, The Da Vinci code.
The devil and Miss Prym. Again this will tell you a lot about life. A must read.

《炼金术士》；
《秘密》
《思考致富》
《富爸爸穷爸爸》
《福尔摩斯》：我已经看完了柯南道尔写的每一本书。它们在iBooks中免费提供，以备你阅读。除此之外，我有几本不同作者写的关于夏洛克的书，但它们没能让我保持清醒。

《数字堡垒》《地狱》《起源》《达芬奇密码》。
