definitly agree with The Art of War. Sun Tzu was a genious. (currently reading)
also would agree with the Communist Manifesto. (have been meaning to read)
And I would also suggest four essential reads by Mao Tse-Tung: Problems of Strategy in China?s Revolutionary War, Problems of Strategy in Guerrilla War Against Japan, On Protracted War, Problems of War and Strategy. (haven't yet read but will after Art of War)

Books I have been really meaning to read:
1984
Anthem
Brave New World

and i dont feel like searching for the titles, but anything by Eisenhower and Patton I would like to get around to reading as well. Take note that I am going to be going into the Army ROTC program and plan to become a military intelligence officer, so that may play a roll in why I want to read the things I do. Give me a leg up in terms of battlefield strategy.
 
Some more recent stuff dealing with changes in the world from globalization to the future of humanity:

The Lexus and the olive tree
The world is flat
The singularity is near

 
I never liked Brave New World, but I did enjoy 1984...

I'll recommend forgotten solider, absolutely amazing...
 
Moll Flanders, by Daniel Defoe; Joseph Andrews, by Henry Fielding; Pamela, By Joseph Richardson; Millennium Hall, by Sarah Scott; The Monk, by Matthew Lewis; The Female Quixote, by Charlotte Lennox; Evelina, by Frances Burney; The Italian, by Ann Radcliffe

...generally, any 18'th century British literature
 
I can't believe nobody said Animal Farm by George Orwell. That book I think, NEEDS to be read, before the Lord of the Flies, which at least one person here mentioned.

Also, Space Odysye, or however you spell that one, as well as The Hitchihikers' Guide to the Galaxy.
 
The Bible
The Qur'an
The Art of War
Moby Dick
Lolita
War and Peace
Lord of the Flies
Animal Farm
A Brief History of Time
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Don Quixote
Gilgamesh
The Iliad and The Odyssey
Dianetics
The Tripitaka
Freud's works
