"Cather In The Rye. "The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one." If you want to call a teenage young man on his bullshit, completely tear down the wallow of self-pity and "I'm a man" world view, read him this quote. My only regret is that I didn't discover the book until I was 18. About 5 years earlier could have saved me a lot of trouble. "

I loved Siddhartha, so I'm glad that's on your list. For me: Animal Farm & 1984 - George Orwell Fences - August Wilson To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee Ellen Foster - Kaye Gibbons There are more, but these are my favourites as far as I can remember.
All I ever need to know I leaned in kindergarten.
Atlas Shrugged. But damn that book was long. Took me 3 months to finish because I'm a slow reader.
Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do by Peter McWilliams
The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. It actually really makes you wonder about the different aspects of your life, what's valuable and such. I gave it a good read, it was actually pretty interesting even if you don't take it to heart.
Tao-te Ching by Lao Tzu. Simple wisdom in a digestible format that is incredibly relevant to everyday living.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance Phil Jackson read this one too actually. But for me, that I can think of right now, would have to be: Evolve your Brain - Joe Dispenze Steve Jobs - Walter Issacson These are ones I've read recently that I remember, but there are a couple of others that I read when I was younger I have them written down somewhere. I can add those too if anyone is interested.
Charles Bukowski. I can't choose one book though - the poetry collections, the novels, short stories. I love them all. His work has probably had a bigger impact on my than any other writer and his life-story alone is an inspiration for me.
1984 - George Orwell God is not Great - Christopher Hitchens The Bible - illiterate bronze age tribesmen Dark Elf Trilogy - R.A. Salvatore (I'm a sucker for popular fantasy) The Road - Cormac McCarthy
