There are so many great books, because there are so many great teachers. I am well aware that there are many, many titles not on this list.
Every book contains information. The question is, will the book serve to help our transformation to a higher level of consciousness.
A book is a transmission of spirit from the author to the reader. The books I list here have served me well as textbooks for a lifelong course in higher consciousness. Most of them I have read and reread a number of times. My wish is that this list serves you in raising your own consciousness.
