GURPS Basic Set by Steve Jackson
1.0
This book has not aged well. Also, reading it made it very clear to me that the success of GURPS is down to the supplements, not this book.
The writing is dense, and the tone often rather arrogant towards other roleplaying games. Also, it makes some rather peculiar assertions about realism in particular.
GURPS certainly has its place in the canon of roleplaying, but it's no reading pleasure.
(Note: I'm rating this as a book, not as a roleplaying game)
