These two are IMO timeless literature and unlike most of the recommended books in this thread are not business books.

Cryptonomicon - Neal Stephenson
The Periodic Table - Primo Levi

Neal Stephenson is truly next level writer. I put little tabs on passages that I like and may want to refer back to. My copy of a great book like Little Big Man may have 5 or 6 tabs. Cryptonomicon has 60+.
