God's Debris by Scott Adams. (He's the Dilbert guy, but it isn't a humor book. Very thought provoking.)

Atlas Shrugged was good, but I felt it wasn't entirely fair or accurate. Thought provoking--yes. Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis is a good, thought provoking read.

That would be Vonnegut's, Slaughterhouse Five, or was it Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby? No it had to be Huxley's Brave New World. Or it is Tourgee's A Fools Errand?
Drat. Leave it to an English Major to find thought provoking nearly everything he has read.
Oh, the burdens of life!
