The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressell.

Taught me everything I needed to know about being a painter.

Perhaps not the 'best' book ever, but certainly one of the most impactful for me as a common-or-garden 18-year-old realising for the first time that our political and economic systems aren't some sort of almighty edict and could be critiqued.
