easy introduction
Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder: (a 13 year old girl discovers philosophy)
Tao Te Ching (read it several times a year)
Anything by Alan Watts on Zen
Zen and the art of anything (esp motorcycles) basically sucks or if it has the word warrior in the title it blows! the only thing worse is that Don Juan thing. Sorry if you like it: "taste" it's personal.
The Book of Five Rings
The Fictionalized Biography of Miyamoto Musashi
The Bible esp the gospels, and the first five books of the old test.
I second The Power of Myth. some of his other stuff is a bit tedious.
Do NOT read "surfing the himalayas" really lame.
