Either Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, or Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

15. Jude's Book of Herbal Remedies

because if this ever happens, I'm checking out of society, moving to cave and becoming a hermit... and I might forget when I get older what herb does what.

[dr.strangelove]

16. The Little Engine that Could

Just because my mom used to read it to me and I still have the copy she read every night. She gave it to me on my wedding day.

Sorry its not something of more literary importance, but mom tops Socrates any day.

Steinbeck's best, IMO.
