Theory of elasticity
Landau, L., Lifshit︠s︡, E., Kosevich, A., & Pitaevskiĭ, L. (1986). Theory of elasticity (3rd English ed., rev. and enl. by E.M. Lifshitz , A.M. Kosevich , and L.P. Pitaevskii.). Oxford [England] ;: Butterworth-Heinemann.
If you are curious of what a Nobel Prize winner thinks of a subject as lame as elasticity, you will not be disappointed. Unlike every other elasticity book, which begins with forces and reactions this one unveils the entire subject from a single fundamental principle of minimum energy required for any action in nature. I read this book very early in college and it has affected my way of thinking and approach to solving problems.
