another favorite of mine is Teilhard De Chardin's The Phenomenon of Man.
he's the guy who first coined the Omega Point and took Vernadsky's theory of the noosphere and ran with it. the book leaves me thinking after every page.

never heard of The Underground Man by Doestoevsky. I wonder if it's the same as Notes from the Underground (about a guy who hates everyone, in the first person). Does it sound like it?

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
This book is insane! It is definitely on par with some great anti-machine novels such as Catcher in the Rye. I'm surprised no one has assassinated a political leader with this in their coat pocket.
-------------------- So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Millions of hippies have sent out loving vibes to their political leaders with this book stashed in their sarongs, though.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Neon Bible by John Kennedy O'Toole
-------------------- Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake. -Erik Davis
