Depends what genre interests you or what you would like development with.
Off the top - "Cosmic Serpent" , "Think & Grow Rich" , "The Book of 5 Rings"
and obviously many many others depending on your field of inquiry .....

Garden of Eden - Voogelbreinder PiHKAL - Shulgin & Shulgin TiHKAL - Shulgin & Shulgin Pharmako/Poeia - Pendell The Permaculture Book of Ferment and Human Nutrition - Mollison They would be my desert island collection  . Yes, I like nonfiction. As for fiction, one of these decades I will finish reading Gravity's Rainbow. 1984 and Brave New World if in the world for something more prosaic.

I always recommend I,Claudius and Claudius the God both by Robert Graves which are books documenting the life of the roman emperor Clausius, they are great reads. But if historic fiction isn't your kind of thing then i would say to go with Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

Dude I'm reading Homers Illiad. It is AWESOME!! I never knew what an "epic" was until i read that. Read it. You'll digg. *All posts under this moniker, Meternik, is for entertainment and research purposes only. All events stated to have happened, or witnessed are all heresay and fictional*

I agree with Anon, Atlas Shrugged is a great read (whether or not you agree with the author's particular philosophical leanings). His Dark Materials series (Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass) by Phillip Pullman is probably the best story I have ever read. Those books changed my life. If you would be into religious themed sci-fi The Sparrow is a really good read, but be warned it is kind of like the movie "Requiem For a Dream" in that it is fucking harrowing and will leave you shocked and horrified. Also, I just finished How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe, and I loved that book. Not even really THAT science-fictiony, more like philosophical time based wordplay. But fun.

Your Brain is God - Leary PiHKAL - Shulgin & Shulgin TiHKAL - Shulgin & Shulgin Cosmos - Sagan LSD: My Problem Child - Hofmann The Doors of Perception - Aldous Huxley Moksha: Aldous Huxley's Classic Writings on Psychedelics and the Visionary Experience “The most compelling insight of that day was that this awesome recall had been brought about by a fraction of a gram of a white solid, but that in no way whatsoever could it be argued that these memories had been contained within the white solid. Everything I had recognized came from the depths of my memory and my psyche. I understood that our entire universe is contained in the mind and the spirit. We may choose not to find access to it, we may even deny its existence, but it is indeed there inside us, and there are chemicals that can catalyze its availability.”

In a society in which nearly everybody is dominated by somebody else's mind or by a disembodied mind, it becomes increasingly difficult to learn the truth about the activities of governments and corporations, about the quality or value of products, or about the health of one's own place and economy.
In such a society, also, our private economies will depend less upon the private ownership of real, usable property, and more upon property that is institutional and abstract, beyond individual control, such as money, insurance policies, certificates of deposit, stocks, etc. And as our private economies become more abstract, the mutual, free helps and pleasures of family and community life will be supplanted by a kind of displaced citizenship and by commerce with impersonal and self-interested suppliers...
The great enemy of freedom is the alignment of political power with wealth. This alignment destroys the commonwealth - that is, the natural wealth of localities and the local economies of household, neighborhood, and community - and so destroys democracy, of which the commonwealth is the foundation and practical means.” - Wendell Berry
