When I was younger I read Tal's 100 Best Games by Bernard Cafferty and Spassky's 100 Best Games by the same author I must have borrowed them from the city library a hundred times another one was Morphy's Games of Chess by Sergeant.

I can't name just one but here are :

 

Logical Chess Move by Move by Chernev (made me fall in love with the game)

The Art of Checkmate by Renaud and Kahn. 

The Art of Sacrifice in Chess by Spielmann

The Amateur's Mind by Silman

Pandolfini's Endgame Course by Pandolfini

The above are my 5 most indispensible books thus far.
