      I guess the 1st book that made an impact would be Neo-Tech
      I was young when I read it and it talks about all the BS involved in Government and Religion. All the power and corruption. Its a self indulged ego trip by the author but aslong as you think for yourself theres some nuggets in it. I never look for any book to be the end all be all, but take what fit you.
      Some Books:
      Art of War
      Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
      All you can do is all you can do but all you can dois enough(long title)

                            A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking was one of the books that really changed the way I think about the world and the universe in general.

                            Another incredible book was "Doors of Perception, Heaven And Hell" By Aldus Huxley. I've always thought Huxley was a genius.

                            Another book was "Child Of The Morning" by Pauline Gedge. Although it's a fictional work, there's enough history behind it that it made me look deeper, and from that book stemmed my love-affair with all things Ancient Egypt.

                                                        This is a great thread.

                                                        For anybody that wants to improve their memory and train their brain check out:

                                                        Your Memory : How It Works and How to Improve It
                                                        Kenneth L. Higbee

                                                        This book does not contain sensationalist rubbish but practical techniques backed by scientific research.

                                                        Also I really liked Richard Branson's autobiography. Wouldn't say it changed the way I think but it certainly confirmed some ideas and provided plenty of inspiration.

                                                        Some of my other favorite reads have already been mentioned.

                                                              Interesting opinion. I'm sure someone expressed the same thought before.... in a book

                                                                Funny, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Tim Leary yet. Everyone in adult must, at some level, share in his "Think for yourself, question authority" and "in-form yourself" credo. His writing style was very 'ivy-league psych professor trying to maintain credibility,' and hard to wade through at times though.

                                                                Great thread, btw. Looking forward to reading some new stuff now.

                                                                              Also I really liked Richard Branson's autobiography. Wouldn't say it changed the way I think but it certainly confirmed some ideas and provided plenty of inspiration.

                                                                              Some of my other favorite reads have already been mentioned.

At Pilades Bar, he meets up with Jacopo Belbo, an editor of obscure texts at Garamond Press. Together with Belbo's colleague Diotallevi, they scrutinize the fantastic theories of a prospective author, Colonel Ardenti, who claims that for seven centuries the Templars have been carrying out a complex scheme of revenge. When Ardenti disappears mysteriously, the three begin using their detailed knowledge of the occult sciences to construct a Plan for the Templars[...] In his compulsively readable new novel, Eco plays with "the notion that everything might be mysteriously related to everything else," suggesting that we ourselves create the connections that make up reality. As in his best-selling The Name of the Rose, he relies on abstruse reasoning without losing the reader, for he knows how to use "the polyphony of ideas" as much for effect as for content. Indeed, with its investigation of the ever-popular occult, this highly entertaining novel should be every bit as successful as its predecessor.

I just saw the name Foucault and memories of reading Michel Foucault for an advanced study History class came to mind. You should check out "Discipline and Punish." Great study on public/private displays of power/brutality and how it works to internalize control.
