The Analects by Confucius
4.0
I wish I could've read it in Chinese, since I think reading it translated ends up making the text lack the nuances and meanings of the original - as said by the translator in the introduction of the book (as far as I remember). It's a good read anyway, and it's nice way to understand more about the thoughts of such an influential man. One thing that certainly made the reading experience a bit worse was missing the references to locales and people (such as Confucius' disciples), since they're pretty frequent throughout the book, but I guess you can understand some of them through context after a while.
