Mine is the Shooters Bible... 597 pages of nothing but guns, ammo and accessories. Couldn't ask for much more. Best 20 bucks I have ever spent.

The Demon Haunted World: Science As a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan. Quite possibly the most inspiring book I've ever read.

The God Delusion.

Delicious.
Also that, to a lesser degree.

The Music Lesson by Victor Wooten.

Mastering the Rubber Guard by Eddie Bravo.

RiP: A Remix Manifesto.

The Music Lesson taught me so much about music. Not so much how to play it, but it opened my eyes to so many different ways to approach it. Mastering the Rubber Guard taught me about whole different world of Jiu Jitsu. RiP: A Remix Manifesto taught me about the evils of modern day IP law, and the amazing culture shift that's going on in some aspects of music nowadays.

I follow the ten commandmants and the lessons of the new testament but my life has also been influenced by Aesop's fables and Machiavelli's "The Prince".
So you've never worked on Sunday? Double time though...

Dune. The litany against fear is with me everyday
Bit more depth? What's the story about?
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Didn't change my life, but it does make me take a step back and think when I read it, and that would be Jackie Chan's Autobiography. "I am Jackie Chan: My Life in Action"

Read the bible ,adopted the sermons on the mount even though I'm not religious, And also adopted the simple folksy "Prussian Values" tapestry I got from my mothers side of the family. All stood me in good stead. Considering I managed to climb my way out of the shitty housing estate that my dead beat of a father left us in. Managed to complete a trade and open my own business and build my dream home as well all this through maintaining a healthy respect for the community and other people as individuals.
When it comes to confronting religious types or cultists I usually just quote Nietzsche.

"Practical Ethics" by Peter Singer and "On Liberty" by John Stuart Mill are the books most influential and closest to my chosen normative world view.
