    The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. Everything you need to know about human behavior, motivations, history can be extrapolated from it.

    Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. Almost as long as a holy book…longer than many actually! This is the book with the most human wisdom wound in its pages I’ve ever read (though HHGTTG goes toe to toe with it and is a hell of a lot funnier!)
