for those who want to dabble in the philosphies of life forms, check out Speaker For the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the mind by Orson Scott Card
it is a series of books, where actually Ender's Game is book one, but 2-4 touched me deeply because i always question killing life forms (animals and such).
it is fiction, true, and it looks very sci fi but the books strongly influenced me.
one other book that literaly changed my life was Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. i find it some what philosphil with the constant struggle of the layman and the law. it shows how rules are critical to society, yet shows how it can be abused grossly in the wrong hands.
