1) Classic Books About the Spiritual Path
The Bhagavad Gita.
There are many versions but the versions by Swami Prabhupada and Stephen Mitchell are excellent.
The Tao te Ching
I find the version by Stephen Michell to be poetic and clear.
The Ashtavakra Gita.
An ancient spiritual text aimed at triggering direct realization of the true Self. Here is a link to the PDF version.
The Upanishads.
The Kena, Maitri, Mandukya, and Taittiriya Upanishads are a good place to start.
The Secret of the Golden Flower
There is a version by Richard Wilhelm and Carl Jung, and another version by Thomas Cleary in which he corrects mistakes in the previous version. Both versions are valuable.
