Ok, first we need to know if you were referring to this, the 21st century - in which case, I have no clue as there are still roughly 92 1/2 years left in which influential books could be published - or the 20th century.

If it's the 20th century you refer to, then I'd say the Bible; Between folks some folks hoping to prove it's contents and others hoping to dis-prove it's contents and still others who just flat out disagree... Well, it certainly influenced a lot of people.

If, on the other hand, you meant books which were WRITTEN during "this century" - I suppose that creates a whole new dialogue...

dunno
