Michael Pollan - In Defense of Food
Not a diet book, but a common sense approach to eating.

Part I, What should I eat? Includes such chapters as "Don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food", "avoid food products that contain more than five ingredients", and "avoid foods that contain high-fructose corn syrup".

Part II, What kind of food should I eat? Includes "Eat mostly plants, especially leaves", "eat your colors", and "the whiter the bread, the sooner you will be dead."

Part III, How should I eat? Includes "pay more, eat less," "eat less," and "limit your snacks to unprocessed plant food."

This is a really short read, and full of common sense... His other books, In Defense of Food and the Omnivore's Dilemma are absolutely must reads as well. He's delivers a lot of information in an really accessible format.
