If you are only going to read 3 books about being healthy and strong, it should be these:
Nutrition
This book will give you the fundamentals of the best nutritional paradigm I have ever tried. Furthermore, it will teach you everything you need to know about macro and micro nutrients, and how to make easy decisions for healthy nutrition every day.
Getting the right nutrition is in my opinion 75% of being healthy - and it only takes a little knowledge to do it right.

Movement and mobility
This book will give you a fundamental understanding of human movement and mobility in the most easily understood way that I have ever seen. Human movement is at the core of everything we do, and this book will 1) help you understand how your body was designed to move, 2) teach you how to restore and improve your mobility through easy exercises, and 3) teach you how you can reinforce correct movement patterns in everything that you do, every day for the rest of your life.

Building functional strength
Reading this book was like having an epiphany. Mark Rippetoe takes the time to explain everything you need to know about building functional strength - which is at the very core of being healthy. This is not about getting big biceps or looking like a greek god or godess (but you probably will anyway) - it is about understanding why it makes sense to be strong, and how to get there using a barbell and the five big powerlifting movements (squat, press, deadlift, bench press and power clean). Everything is explained and illustrated brilliantly in this book that can rightfully be called the bible of functional strength.
