For me its probably the Tao Te Ching for its spiritual wisdom as well as the courage to be disliked for how it introduced me to Adlerian psychology and teleology.

    "Dragons of Eden" by Carl Sagan and "Caffeine" by Michael Polan are some of my favorites for thought provoking biological and sociological tie-ins. I also recently wrapped up "Revolutionary Suicide" by Huey P. Newton and it was eye opening in how not only prophetic he was but how the same issues are still in play some 60 years later.
