"Tao Te Ching" by Lao Tzu
Translated into German by Richard Wilhelm then into English by Cary F. Baynes.

Having read more than 15 different translations of this work, the Wilhelm/Baynes translation is far and away my favorite. They did a fantastic job of the 'I Ching' as well, perhaps the most readable translation, but not as accurate as some others.
