Relentless by Tim. S. Glover I just picked up recently. It is pretty fucking awesome thus far. Great read if anybody is looking for something new.

Behold the spirit by Alan watts. It met me where I was stuck in christianity and led me to more eastern minded thought. so now I'm more open open minded and like watts, I've become an alcoholic.

I recently read the "Journey of Socrates" by Dan Millman (same guy who wrote Peaceful Warrior) and that was definitely his best work in my opinion. I highly recommend reading the trilogy. Start with "Peaceful Warrior" then read "Journey of Socrates" and then "Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior". I just really resonated with Socrates and the story telling in that book is off the charts, unlike any of his other books. I Highly recommend!!!
Oh and yes of course "Autobiography of a Yogi"

I've never finished a book, maybe dr.seuss. The first half of Magicians or the God's by Graham Hanock was very eye opening

For me it was Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises.  I read it last year after a LONG hiatus from books and it got me hooked again.  I've been on a mad tear and have been reading one book per month ever since.

Recent and upcoming books...I just wrapped up The God Delusion yesterday and I picked up The Third Chimpanzee earlier tonight.

My Side of the Mountain. Don't bother with it now - it's essentially a children's book combining pared down elements of Walden with a Defoe adventure novel. I read it in elementary school, loved it, and it started me on a path of reading so many other things. I sometimes wonder if that would have happened if I'd passed it up. Maybe. But maybe not, at least not this way.

Also, yes, The Sun Also Rises. Incredibly written, relatively short, and densely packed with meaning. It will stay with you a long time.

It seems as each book has enough insight to change mind enough to see a change in life. A conversation with another is of enough significance to change life.  Is as a PinBall table, a bump here sends to here then on over to there, never in same order or direction as before, continually forward into what is of now.

"Everything there is, and all that there is, is a Pattern of unspeakable proportion. The Pattern contains everything that is, completely fixed in succession, all the minimal particles interconnected in every way that is. Every way that is is not every conceivable way, because not everything that can be conceived is manifest in the pattern."

"THE Human, you, is a miniscule but essential part of that pattern. In it lies complete fulfillment. It will never become something it is not, but it will never need to be anything else." - Wiccan_Seeker
