I'll recommend four...
Journey to the End of the Night by Louis-Ferdinand Celine (angry book)
The Road to Mecca by Muhammad Asad (inspiring book)
Solipsist by Henry Rollins (very angry book)
And because it was the only book that I read again immediately having finished it...
The Orchard Keeper by Cormac McCarthy (a damn good book)
wildwood by Roger Deakin ,the modern Henry David Therou.If you wanted to borrow it teedee I'll leave it with dave budd ?.

"Scouting for boys"
To my shame, I have never read it. But its impact on my life has been huge.
I joined Cubs at 8 and went right through to Venture Scout them Scout Leader.
I had a few years out, but am now back in as an Assistant Scout Leader.

How to retire Happy, wild, and free.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Retire-Happy-Wild-Free/dp/1580085784/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b
Written by a Canadian. They helped influence me to leave full time paid employment working for someone else recently.......and I'm never going to get a day "normal job" again.
Makes you think about what's important in life, and some ideas to live life to the full. Well worth a read.

"The Miracle of Mindfulness" by Thich Nhat Hanh would be an excellent companion for some of the above books.
Into the wild by Jon Krakaeur is a bit obvious, but it meant a lot to me.
The Quantum Enigma, a book that didn't so much enlighten me as turn my head upside down. It explains the bit of quantum theory that says, more or less, that you create the world by looking at it.

This is a biography of the E=MC2 formula, that explains it by going through it's history and results, and fascinated me. Energy=Mass. Convert a gram of mass into the equivalent amount of energy and you get hiroshima. Amazing.
