Currently reading "Cloud Atlas" [David Mitchell] and "London: a Biography" [Peter Ackroyd], loving them both.
Have you read Life: A User's Manual by Georges Perec?
The opening motto of the book: "Look with all your eyes, look" is one I love to be reminded of. If curiosity is its own philosophy then this book contains all of life.
The story takes place in a parisian block of flats. Each flat has its own tale and is never visited twice, but all stories are linked together through the analogy of a jigsaw puzzle. The obsessive description that characterises these stories within stories I can only describe as witnessing a genius' fetish for life, not an easy read by any means in fact it makes your head explode by opening your mind to the complexity and beauty and wonder in every. little. thing.

I'd go with "The Prayers and Tears of Jacques Derrida," for fiction, checkout Bonfire of the Vanities (a classic 80's wallstreet dig, kinda feels right with enron, stewart, and worldcom goin on too though)

Yeah, the Catcher in the Rye is a classic for a reason. Great book.
I also like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy if you're looking for laughs.
Cat's Cradle or Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut

not sure if ahyone replied with this:
Watership Down.
Read it last fall and I think it's my favorite book ever. I'm 26, not sure how I got this far along without reading it. Just a wonderful book and very immersive.
