* Beyond good and evil: Nietzsche

* The Temple of the Golden Pavilion: Yukio Mishima

* Steppenwolf: Hermann Hese

* Library of babel: Borges

* The Brain: David Eagleman

* The Magical Mountain: Thomas Mann

* The Dark Tower: Stephen King(actually tons of King books - I am a bit of a fanboy)

* Factfulness: Hans Rosling

* William Blake: selected poetry

* Dostoevsky: The idiot

* Captain Nemo: Jules Verne

* The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Adams
