Anything by Dostoevsky, but specifically "Notes from Underground" and "The Brothers Karamazov". "Jean-Christophe" by Romain Rolland.

"Brother Karamazov", "Jean-Christophe" and "Athens and Jerusalem". I come back to these books from time to time. All three give me some kind of inner peace or more mental strength.
