There is only one book which is the most important book for me and it is the Bible.
Reading my bible guides me in my life. Whenever I have problems,I just read some verses in it and I feel calm and I know my problem will soon be resolved because of Him. I am being able to know God more through the Bible.
See you around!

I totally agree. The Bible contains wisdom beyond any field of knowledge. Even non-Christians read this to gain knowledge. Anything related to your spiritual being can be seen there. It is also used to have a better relationship with God.

"American Gods" by Neil Gaiman was a favorite of mine because it showed me that no matter how ordinary you think your life is, you might be surprised to find out that it isn't that ordinary.

Aside from the Bible, there are other three books that are influential to me namely Rich Dad Poor Dad of Robert Kiyosaki, Compassionate Capitalism of Rich DeVos, and Strategies for Success by Jim Dornan.

"Rich dad, poor dad" is the book which is influence me the most. I think that it's a great book. It make me open my mind about money and private finance.

Wow so many books so little space. The Book of Mormon and The Holy Bible are two books that have helped guide my new path in life. I hope to be all that He in His wisdom has called me to be.
Then there is Little Women who gave me a better glimpse of being a woman without the sarcasm and trampy bits that come with most books for women today. There are also no overly preachy parts. Just a gentle understanding of the things that all women can understand, but have no guidance in obtaining.
When I started working online books like Rich Dad Poor Dad and the Little Red Book of Selling have helped out tremendously. They make up the cornerstone of my working library literature.
All of my books I read because I enjoy them. Even the working ones. Each one has a story to tell and trust me, I get the whole story. From cover to cover.

Of course the Holy Qur'an is the most important to me. Then there are books that have helped me become a better person and have increased my level of understanding and maturity such as Stephen Covey's '7 habits of highly effective people', Dale Carnegie's 'How to win friends and to influence people', Sidney Sheldon's novels (nearly all of them; his characters are really inspiring, the way they are so dedicated to their purpose, whatever it is, and the way they work so hard for it). Books that inspire me enough to APPLY their goodness in my life are books that are important to me and for me they are definite collector's items.
