The Way of the Peaceful Warrior, by Dan Millman- beautiful primer on eastern thought.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo- great easy read on the power of coincidence, dreams, etc..
Boomeritis by Ken Wilber- great skwering of baby boomers and popular culture in general. Wilber is insanely brilliant and will be regarded as Einstein in the next century- marrys philosphy, science, politics, spirituality, art, etc. into one integral vision.
Got any?

Liar.
I can make some mean tofu! It's an interesting read. There is another one actually that I think everyone should read, vegan, veggie or not. It has very interesting things in it about mad cow disease and heart disease. I forget the name of it. It's written by Doctors, vegans and non vegans so it covers everything.

And how happy Margaret was to have blood flow out of her girlyparts.
i should've seen it coming, though. i mean, there's the bra-buying sequence and all that.
then again, i read "Then Again, Maybe I Won't" at such a young age, i didn't even realize dude was twisting off
