"The Fan Man"
by William Kotzwinkle
Kotzwinkle is best known for penning "E.T." which turned out to be quite a hit film for him. However, "The Fan Man" is his underground novel with quite a cult following- one of my favorites.
"On the Road"
by Jack Kerouac
The sweetest novel of becoming a daring and adventurous rebel in the heart of America....the finest prose ever written.
"Into the Wild"
by Jon Krakauer
The true events of Christopher McCandless who ventured into the Alaskan wilderness never to return....
"Life of Pi"
by Yann Martel
Simply an amazing book of some kid trapped in a dinghy with a bengal tiger- one wild and magical ride alone on the ocean with a man-eating tiger.
"Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair"
by Pablo Neruda
All creatures should read a book a poems once in their lifetime- this is about as deep as the human spirit can get speaking of love and love lost.
"The Power of Myth" with Bill Moyers
by Joseph Campbell
A very intriquing and well-rounded book. Required reading for anyone who wants to expand their mind.
"Way of the Peaceful Warrior"

The story of a gymnast who discovers himself through a spiritual mentor who goes by the name of Socrates.
