I recommend Nietszche for brain food. Beyond Good and Evil and The Gay Science are both straighforward and enriching.

I just read The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. Definitely turned my gears. Usually when people talk about it they talk about the protagonist (or fountainhead), Roark. He's only 1/4 of the story. Rand really develops each character; the working title for the book was "second hand lives."
