Travels, by Michael Crichton - a sort of autobiography with some excellent lessons on life. I've never met anyone else who's read it for some reason. Ishmael - recommended on here but doesn't seem well known in the UK. Everyone I've recommended to has enjoyed The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists - Proof that politics hasn't changed much in 100 years Jonathon Livingston Seagull - again well known on here, but not so much generally
