I second the Discworld recomendation. The series is fantastic. Read everything Pratchett has written, it is worth it.

Ishmael by Daniel Quinn: the only book to truly explain the genesis scripture.

Cosmos by Carl Sagan

If you want a good view of the matter, please read Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond.

The prophet by Khalil Gibran: One of the most beautiful books I've read.

If you can read True Names before any other cyberpunk book, do it. And read it before watching 'Her'. It's worth it.

I think you will like it. It paints Buddhism and Stoicism in a very pragmatic light.
