Legend
Other than Lord of the Rings --- which frankly, IS the #1 book that should be read by all gamers; anyone claiming anything else is just rationalizing --- a few entries immediately come to mind.
The Bhagavad Gita
The Epic of Gilgamesh
The Once and Future King by T.H. White
Elric of Melnibone by Michael Moorcock
The Complete Conan Chronicles by Robert E. Howard.
Neuromancer by William Gibson.
Foundation by Isaac Asimov.
Pretty much anything written by Philip K. Dick.
