  "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac.

  Or "The Big Walk" by Willie T. Clay if you can find it. Sort of the Afro American version of On the Road.

  Dune by Frank Herbert
  
  I've read Dune 3 times now, the first time as a young 14 year old.
  
  Buddhism Without Beliefs by Stephan Batchelor
  
  Take all the mystical hocus-pocus out of Buddhism and distill it down to its essence. Beautiful.

  I really recommend a book called "Day of the Bees" by Thomas Sanchez. It might be hard to find but it's incredible.
  
  Other incredible reads are Howard's End, by EM Forster, or Defoe's classics like Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders.
  
  Or anything by Fannie Flagg. She wrote Fried Green Tomatoes. She is a brilliant author- bittersweet, funny, moving and wholly satisfying.

  If you are into Science fiction I suggest the "Honor Harrington" series by David Weber 11 books strong and still going...the first book in the series "On Basilisk Station" you will not put it down from page one...

  I love Westerns, old movies especially. After watching the mini- series "Lonesome Dove " years ago I decided to read it.

  Simply amazing book, beautifully written.

  The Joy of Cooking, because I was awarded it in high school at grad for excellence in restaurant cooking. Nowadays it's wieners and beans and frozen french fries!!! That's why I got married.
