Thank you everyone for the suggestions.
It's much appreciated.
All of those seem like excellent books, especially "Also Sprach Zarathustra".
Thanks you for the suggestions. I've updated the list.
Though it seems like it'd be an interesting read, it's not quite the material that I'm looking for.
Thank you nonetheless though.
This isn't the sort of material I'm looking for.
Thank you for the suggestion though.
"To Kill A Mockingbird" doesn't really hold much interest as far as the theme and setting are concerned.
I'm much more interested in philosophical or critical works.
"A View from the Bridge" however seems like an interesting play.
I've added it to the list. Thank you for suggesting it.
McRaney seems like an interesting read, and I've updated it to the list.
Thank you for suggestion it.
I've also updated HP Lovecraft, but I wouldn't know where to begin, and though Kevin Mitnick seems interesting enough, I have the same problem.
Care to make book suggestions?
Thank you.
Those sound wonderful. I look forward to reading them.
I've updated those to the list. Thank you for the suggestions, MintCat.
The books by George Orwell seem quite intriguing, so I've updated them to the list.
The ones you recommended by Philip Roth aren't too much of interest.
I've updated "2001" to the list, and perhaps once I get finished with that, I'll move on to "Andymon" at some point.
Interesting reads though. Thank you for the suggestions.
It's much appreciated.
I look forward to reading that book.
Thank you for the suggestion, Arglax.
Well, if you have book suggestions from those authors, I'd greatly appreciate it. ^^

Fantasic works I have read so far. Mind you, the last one is kind of poetic, but if you understand the beautiful metaphors, it will open your eyes.

If you have any interest in security, Kevin Mitnick has some good books that are very telling.
Also HP Lovecraft is awesome, not sure if you will understand the human psyche from it, but great works.

They're all pretty dark & depressing.
Those sound wonderful. I look forward to reading them.

American Pastoral, I Married a Communist, and The Human Stain by Philip Roth are very interesting books as that tell stories about socially uneasy situations.
I also recommend books from Arthur C. Clarke, particularly 2001.
Andymon. A Space Utopia by Angela and Karlheinz Steinmüller is an amazing book about a small community of people who have to work well together in order to get shit done.

Cosmic trigger, by Robert Anton Wilson is really interesting and entertaining , its got science fiction, philosophy, conspiracy theory, and much more. Plus this guy was well read in a lot of different fields. His most well known series was the illuminatus trilogy.
Well, this one man, he is very good at making dark an depressing books, full of mind blowing poetry and crazy storylines,

I read Lovecraft chronologically, just grabbed a copy of his anthology and read it cover to cover.
The only Mitnick book I own is The Art of Deception, so that's all I've read ;)
