Lots of wonderful books have been mentioned, many of which are entirely unmissable.

In English it absolutely, positively has to be the Burton translation, which is the only one (I know of) which does not tone down and censor the rich and at times quite explicit language of the original Arabic.

If you like fairy tales, folk tales and/or fantastic literature in general, you really need to check out these.
