Animal Farm by George Orwell.
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Kill_a_Mockingbird
Odyssey by Homer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odyssey
All three are great books and the names alone speak for themselves.

Absolutely the first would be Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. I have read this book countless times, and I presume I will read it countless more. This is the book that first made me aspire to be a writer myself.
The second would be The Book of Laughter and Forgetting by Milan Kundera simply because it is so beautiful.
And the last would be Rilke's Duino Elegies. I think I could spend a lifetime with just one of his poems alone.

The first would be The 7 Habits of Highly effective People, by Stephen F. Covey. There is a lot to be learned about yourself and improving your lifestyle. an excellent book to read and always have at your side.
Second: Mind over Mood: Change How You Feel by Changing the Way You Think, by Dennis Greenberger, Christine A. Padesky PhD. Because i suffer with severe depression, this book is an excellent tool for me to have at the ready when i need it to help change my thinking and behavior patterns when i start to fall into a deep depression.
Lastly: The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook, by Edmund J. Bourne. Along with my depression comes a lot of anxiety and social anxiety. The tools within this book are priceless

The Mayor of Casterbridge written by Thomas Hardy in 1886
- the novel is a tragic tale of human suffering and consequences
I, Robot by Isaac Asimov written in 1950
- if we ever have the ability to create an artificial life then I hope they follow the three laws of robotics
Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino written in 1972
- for imaginative views of cities and human discovery written in prose poetry form
But really, if I had to limit myself to 3 books I don't think life would be fun anymore :(
