In The Name of Rome - Adrian Goldsworthy (better than The Art of War by Sun Tzu)
Collapse - Jared Diamond
The Arms of Krupp - William Manchester
The Dragons of Eden - Carl Sagan

Art of the Deal - Trump

Tony Schwartz wrote that book.

From wikipedia:
Schwartz called writing the book his "greatest regret in life, without question," and both he and the book's publisher, Howard Kaminsky, said that Trump had played no role in the actual writing of the book. Trump has personally given conflicting accounts on the question of authorship.[4][7] Schwartz later suggested that the work be " recategorized as fiction".

Unfortunately there is no "fraud" category for books

Not one specific book. But anything by Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, or James Randi. Anything dealing with science and skepticism.

'Are You There God? It's me, Margaret.' by Judy Blume. Totally changed my life, and renewed my faith in an existential deity I could devote my life to.

One of the best books I ever read, its called "Our Ultimate Reality" by Adrian Cooper.
It explains how the universe works, what happens to you after you die, and the meaning of life.

The Animal Farm- which showed me that I wasn't nuts, that the reality I was seeing was actually THE reality. It's of course why George got himself banned in the Workers Paradise.

There are several movie renditions of the book. You can find lots on Youtube. Just put 'Animal Farm Movie' in the search bar.
I watched a cartoon version in Uni.
