Those three would be HARD to beat.
Here's mine :
1. Walden by Thoreau
2. The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis
3. The Life of God in the Soul of Man by Hengry Scougal

I hope we are talking along with the Bible
Then I Think Christina has the set for me that one can chew on long and hard.
Unless maybe I could count Owen's Works as one book.
Any of you have the 6 vol Morning Exercises at Cripplegate? Awesome sermons that were supposed to be a 1/2 every morning as parishoners wanted more feeding. You can't read through most any of them in less than an hour.
Some of the most heavenly words you can ever hear.
I highly recommend these to all

I can't do it, but one of the three would be a one-volume Matthew Henry Commentary on the whole Bible.

John Newton, the slave trader/author of Amazing Grace stated that if he would only be allowed one book along with his bible it would most certainly have to be The Christian in Complete Armour by William Gurnall. If you've never read it, dont linger in doing so! It is one of those books we benefit from over and over through the years!

Not easy to make a choice, but I guess it would have to be:
John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion
Thomas Watson, A Body of Divinity
A.A.Hodge, The Westminster Confession: A Commentary

Thomas Watson, A Body of Divinity
A.A.Hodge, The Westminster Confession: A Commentary
