Federalist Papers

Will and Ariel Durant's Story of Civilization (book series, I know. But I'm a rebel.)

Anything by Mark Helprin but I'm partial to “A soldier of the Great War” I wanted a fiction book in the three.

Every adult should read:

#1 The Creature From Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin

#2 Lucifer's Hammer by Niven & Pournelle

#3 The Green Beret Survival Manual By Myke Hawke

Kids should read:

I'm going to cheat a bit here and call a compendium of books as a single entity.

#1 The Chronicles of Narnia

#2 Left Behind The series By LaHaye & Jenkins

#3 All books written by Robert A. Heinlein

I’d have to think about it to figure out 3 but “The Last Stand Of The Tin Can Sailors” would be one if them.
