'the drifters' - james michener
best novel read so far, and i read it many times. given to me by my father in my youth, this book influenced my whole life.
'siddharta' + 'steppenwolf' - hermann hesse
read so many times.
there are very few novels that fundamentally influenced my thinking, but these three did.
but i read a whole bunch of books on communication, manipulation, perception, sociobiology,..
that really changed my way of thinking, changed my way of thinking about others' thoughts, and changed the way i change others' ways of thinking! :-D
'the biology of belief' - bruce lipton
'the power of persuasion' - robert levine
'NLP' - o'conner and seymore
'how real is real?' - paul watzlawick

There is an awesome book compiled and translated by Sebastian Brock called _Syriac Fathers on Prayer and the Spiritual Life_. This book is mostly made up of translations of primary texts centuries old. This from holy people - solitaries living in the desert between Persia, Byzantium, and Islam. Topics include cultivating virtue at every turn, furthering metaphysical experiences through prayer and the ascetic life, and incorporating ascetic practice into one's quest for the divine. Long have I pondered and rejoiced at this book. For it has put me in a constant psychedelic state. This from pracicing purity and the like. Every goodness is bringing its reward. I am ever so satisfied with the fortunate book. Love, and Trust in Trance, Mc |

It started with Brave New World, cos I thought it was just sci fi entertainment. Little did I know. Then I stumbled on Brave New World Revisited and my eyes opened.
From there, read every Aldous Huxley book I could find in the used bookstores (and later learned was a good friend of my grandfather), and when he'd mention someone like Dante, I went and read the Divine Comedy. Then from there, to the Greek classics from Plato all the way to Aristotle. Then coming back in time with Voltaire, then Descartes.
When I had kids, I read the Tao of Poo and from there Alan Watts (who I later learned was a good friend of my dad in the 50's beatnic era in San Francisco.)
I have also read a few Joseph Campbell and Ken Wilbur which were entertaining.
Not really changing my way of thinking, most of them I was already along the same lines.

Vladimir Solovyov - The Meaning of Love
Tanabe Hajime - Philosophy as Metanoetics (Jp:懺悔道としての哲学 )
Shinran: Kyogyoushinshou
Works by Kukai
Nishitani Keiji: Religion and Nothingness (Jp: 宗教とは何か)
Takeuchi Yoshinori: The Heart of Buddhism
Meister Eckhart - Von der Abgeschiedenheit
Søren Kierkegaard - Philosophiske Smuler (Philosophical Fragments)
Hmm.. come to think of it, every heavy work of philosophy has somehow changed my perception and the way i view reality. Only to give me a more flexible mind with which to navigate in the world - historical and transhistorical. But here is a very small excerpt.
"... the fundamental striving of every man should be to create for himself an inner freedom towards life and to prepare for himself a happy old age." - Gurdjieff |

Siddharta from Hermann Hesse was maybe the first book that made me think for a while.
Than I started to look if other books could do the same, and found a few which were great.
Max Frisch-Andorra
Christian Rätsch-Die Planzen der Liebe(plants of love) 
Christian Rätsch-Meine Erfahrungen mit Schamanenpflanzen
Dalai Lama-Die Regeln des Glücks(rules of luck)
Aldous Huxley-Brave new World |

It´s from a brazilian writer called Pedro Bandeira. There´s no english title, and a direct translation should be:
"The Obedience Drug"
It´s a teen adventure book (I´ve read this when I was 14 If I remember well).
RESUME: the best students from the best schools of São Paulo (Brazil) are being used as tests for a "Obedience Drug".
