Tao Te Ching
We Were Soldiers Once... and Young
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
Starship Troopers
Failure is Not an Option
Atlas Shrugged
A Brave New World

Plenty more, but those rise to the top for having made me think the most.

Ahhh, nice pictures there. 

I just finished "Shadow of the wind" and am starting The Alienist.

If you like those, might want to check out Charles Palliser - Quincunx.  All good reads.
