"The Prince" by Niccolo Machiavelli.
It's just as relevant today as it was over five hundred years ago, as human nature has changed very little, if at all since then. Machiavelli was truly red pill before being red pill was cool.
Any book written by Robert Greene:
"48 Laws of Power," "The Art of Seduction," "33 Strategies of War," "The 50th Law" and "Mastery."

Great thread, have added a few more to the ever growing list of books to read across a wide spectrum of topics (economics, finance, politics, biographies, philosophy, history)
What I've read recently.
"Art of the deal" (and other Trump books). The original is the best, a lot of Trump's writing follows a common theme across most of his books, probably overkill to read all of his and would focus on 'Art of the Deal if you've never read. It's amazing how he still practices the common themes in that book to this very day during his presidency. 8/10
"Traders, Guns and money"
Good introduction into the world of the financial markets (specifically derivatives trading) and the culture/personality of Traders. Knowing this profession fairly well I would say it's pretty accurate. Is a long read. 6/10
"Danger and Play"
A very easy read, good brief overview and summary of Cernovich's work/personality. 5.5/10
"Flying Free" by Nigel Farage or "Londonistan" by Melanie Philippe
For anyone interested in UK, EU or the reasons behind Brexit this is a must read and good summary of the aforementioned topics. Was published years ago by the (then) leader of Ukip and one of the 'Architect's of BREXIT', Nigel Farage.
Londonistan has a stronger focus on the Islamation of the UK, over 10 years old but still extremely relevant to this day. Both 8/10
"Never eat Alone"
Excellent book on how to market yourself in your chosen career path and make the most of your opportunities. Great for anyone who especially is in a role that requires a significant amount of face2face interaction. 7/10
+2 on the recommendation of '7 Habits of Highly effective people', a strong recommendation to help with goal setting, frame of mind and getting rid of bad habits. 7/10

I'm surprised this one hasn't been mentioned as Dr Jordan Peterson quotes it constantly but:
The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsy
he also recommends
War & Peace and The Idiot/Crime and Punishment from the Russian greats.

I really need to get a copy of Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!. I know Roosh praised it back in 2007.
,,Я видел, куда падает солнце!
Оно уходит сквозь постель,
В глубокую щель!"
-Андрей Середа, ,,Улица чужих лиц", 1989 г.

Obviously the "must-read books" for any given individual must vary, based on that person's abilities, inclinations, and situation. However, I believe for many on this forum the following four works are likely to be of interest and value
Sociobiology by EO Wilson : For those seriously interested in a meaningful understanding of the evolutionary-psych concepts that underpin so much of the manosphere's thought and ideology, this seminal work is a must read. It's not incredibly difficult, but it is very long. It is one of the few works so powerfully composed and written that the author's brilliance seems to jump off the page straight at you. Highly recommended for anyone with a real intellectual interest in biology, sociology, or psychology.
The Art of the Deal by Donald Trump : If you haven't read this one yet, but consider yourself to have any sort of interest in politics or in the Trump Phenomena itself, you're doing yourself a grave disservice. Besides offering an insight into the thoughts and deeds of the man of the decade, the work offers up more substantive content on how to successfully conduct negotiations. Additionally, it demonstrates the importance of hiring an excellent ghost writer.
The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy : If you haven't delved into Russian literature at all, if you haven't uplifted your soul with War and Peace and Anna Karenina, if you haven't ever read a masterpiece of human genius and artistry before, or if you just have an honest interest in Quality - read this novella tomorrow. A profound meditation on life, death, and meaning, Tolstoy's finest work of short fiction shouldn't take a skilled reader more than two or three hours to finish. I promise, reading this will be the most productive possible use of that time. It's a jaw-droppingly fantastic work in its own right, and provides a great bridge into the rest of the oeuvre of Tolstoy - unquestionably one of the foremost geniuses in human history, and perhaps the finest writer in the Western Canon to ever set pen to paper. Lots of red pill truths about the failings of marriage and career in here too, for what that's worth.
Emma by Jane Austen : If you snorted at the inclusion of a "women's book" on this list, turn down your autism knob three or four full rotations. Though not her most famous work, Emma might be Austen's finest, displaying the electric prose and canny understanding of social situations Austen is famous for. Beyond the sheer aesthetic value of the work, having read some Jane Austen tends to be a fantastic tool for anytime you find in yourself in conversation with a girl who isn't just a pretty face and a gap. Bitches love Jane Austen, and with good reason: she's one of the best writers of English prose ever. If you needed any further reasons, reading the artful prose of an Austen is sure to improve anyone's writing.

Is Baudrillards Simulacra and Simulation a must read or is it complete garbage?

^I was talking to a friend and he recommended it. He swore it was a work of genius but it sounds like mambo jumbo.

Camus "the stranger"-- Great primer to existentialism, and a extremely philosophically dense book for being so short.
Any ian fleming Bond novel-- Great Red Pill series, and what makes the Bond novels so good is that they're based on Fleming's experiences as a spy.

Anything by the great Russians; Tolstoy, Dostoeyevsky, Solzhenitsyn etc
Some others off the top of my head:
Viktor Frankl - Man's Search For Meaning
Nietzsche - Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Plato's Republic
The classic section in any good book store; this is where the real gold is.

•All books by Robert Greene exept The art of seduction which is strange for me to say on a place like this forum but I think his other books are more worth your time.
•The Rational male series, although I havent read the latest instalment.
•What every BODY is saying, by Joe Navarro. Good book on body language as you learn to read others aswell as making you own movements more dominant and masculine.
•Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin.
Solid book that makes your mindset shift to taking more responsebility and thus giving you ultimate control over your life and future.
•Bachelorpad Economics is a solid book that I think every ~23y/o and younger should read but I guess older readers may take away something from it aswell.
•Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
•The Way of Men by Jack Donovan.
