I've read a lot of books this year (47 so far[1]) and they cover a wide range of genres, topics, etc. So it's hard to say that one is "the best" overall, so I'll break it into some categories:
1. Most interesting, overall: Godel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter
2. Best in Hard Sci-fi: Foundation's Edge by Asimov
3. Best in Business: Customer-Centric Selling by Michael T. Bosworth, John R. Holland, Frank Visgatis
4. Best in Technology: An Introduction to MultiAgent Systems by Michael J. Wooldridge
5. Best in Mythology: Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
6. Best in "Deserves a mention regardless of category": On Writing by Stephen King
7. Best in Mathematics: A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science by Barbara Oakley
8. Best in Biography: The Man Who Tamed Lightning by Floyd Miller (biography of Charles Proteus Steinmetz)
