Your favorite works of philosophy?

Hume, Spinoza, and Hobbes help shaped my worldview.

Machiavelli is also a good read, if only because he's referenced in culture a lot.

For more modern day philosophers, it would be Bertrand Russel.
 
anything from emerson...sophie's world is a good read, though not a philosophy book it is a good primer on different philosophies.
 
"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" and "Lila" by Robert Pirsig.

Also pretty much anything by Soren Kierkegaard. I'm fond of Simone Weil as well, but her writings aren't usually on the shelves at the local bookstore. There's also Thomas Merton, Thich Nhat Hanh, Paul Tillich, Rudolph Bultmann, Albert Schweitzer, and Wayne Teasdale. Of the older schools, Meister Eckhart and Jacob Boehme stand out.
