Impossible to pick just one.

I'll give a few that haven't appeared yet: Fiction: Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality (Eliezer Yudkowsky) Non-fiction: Rationality - from AI to Zombies (Eliezer Yudkowsky)

Probably no books have impacted me quite as much as these two, barring early-childhood books that have impacted me from a young age.

Fiction: Worm (by Parahumans)

Best "superhero" fiction ever created. Just one of my favorite books in general.

Fiction: The Mistborn Trilogy - Brandon Sanderson. Best fantasy books ever, IMO.

I can go on for a long time, but I felt like these haven't been mentioned and absolutely deserve a place on this thread.
