I know i may seem like a bit of a looser for this, but for me its a book called The Dangerous Journey aka Pilgrims Progress, its an old book written by a famous local author called John Bunyan. I first read it in lower school when i was roughly 8-9 years old and became fascinated by it.
Hmm The Name of The Wind was pretty badass, oh and the last volume of Death Note. One of those two
The book in the OP. I loved it. Or prehaps the Space wolf Omnibus for sheer asskicking awesome ness
Well, being a Christian and having a BA in theology...my Bible and various exegetical and theological books are very important to me. Though I know that's not going to get me any cool points here.
Other than that:
Nonfiction: Is There No Other Way?: The Search for a Nonviolent Future by Michael Nagler
Fiction: Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut, my favorite author ever

Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson
Best book I've ever read and best of the entire series The Malazan Books of the Fallen. Which is really hard to choose a favourite from.
I did pick up a cheap copy of Don Quixote today though, one which seems to be a really good, recent translation. Charity shops are awesome

My very well-worn copies of Guns, Germs, and Steel and Eat the Rich, which I cite frequently for a quick and easy contribution to the "non-Internet sources" count in my papers. Doesn't matter if what I'm citing is relevant---those two books have always been useful sources.
As a series of books I feel that these are supperior:
As an individual book, I go for this:
I just love the way it takes such a silly matter so seriously, that and the fact that these words will one day save your life. Read it, know it, do it.

All of my books...well maybe except Crank...I totally thought it was about an actual monster.
I think the MOST AWESOME of my AWESOME book collection would have to be
Vampire Hunter D....volume 1-15...yes I counted them all as one book. Oh and probably my Neil Gaiman stuff...and my Ned Vizzini stuff...never mind I take it back, my whole collection is the best...except Crank...

Probably the Grapes of Wrath, it's a great read. Most of my other books don't even compare to it. My biggest gripe is basically the gripe of everyone else, and that's the ending. Not awful, but just underwhelming.
I have an original 1st edition (beat up as hell) paperback of The Stand.
And The Name of the Wind is Incredible.
Honorable mention to the Song of Ice and Fire series.
