When I was 14, I found a copy of The Cave of the Ancients by T. Lobsang Rampa on the ground. It's historical fiction from a british author under the premise that he is writing about his previous incarnation as a monk from Tibet. The book is heavy in philosophy and focused on the differences between eastern and western culture. I really enjoyed it because many of the ideas on life, technology, and society were 'outside of the box' and yet completely plausible explanations from a different perspective.
