My all-time favorite is Ruth Stout's "How to Have a Green Thumb Without an Aching Back".

When I first read it, in the 70's, I was at the gardening stage of her "aha!" moment when she realized that the "experts" weren't always such. It gave me the freedom to observe and do what seemed right, rather than following the formulas in the older gardening books. She also kept me laughing.

I have a request. I am working on a column for my weekly newspaper
gardening column and an article for my blog and Jeff's website,
yardener.com on general gardening books old and new. So tell me,
which ones are your favorites, the ones you go back to time and time
again?
