The  Kama Sutra  is probably the most well known classic positional book.  Some  of the positions could really improve your game (as if I'd know).

I agree , "My System" is certainly an Outstanding book.

You may also want to look at "The Middle Game vol 1 & 2" by Max Euwe and Hans Kramer.

Also for those wanting an easy to read and learn from for beginners and above check out "Secrets of the Russian Chess Masters vol 1 & 2" by Lev Alburt and Larry Parr". These particular books are a fast track to better chess, as Lev Alburt and Larry Parr are OUTSTANDING teachers.
