Multiple ones, for different reasons. Paradise Lost is a biggie. Certain passages in religious texts. Aristotle's Ethics, which explained a lot. A Handbook for Arguments, which explained how to explain the stuff I learned elsewhere. Northanger Abbey, which gently reminded me that I wasn't in a book. There have been others, too, although as I try to think about it and read others' lists, I'm having difficulty finding books that were deeply significant to me and were written recently. Sometimes it was about the content, sometimes it was about the experience of reading--in one case, it was about the book as a physical object more than about its text.
