you might like some of the books by Gregg Braden. i've read The Divine Matrix, it's like a metaphysical examination of quantum physics and how that can affect our experience of reality. also things in there like spontaneous remissions for cancer patients. really interesting stuff, but it does have a science component as it's also spiritual. you may also like Care of the Soul by Thomas Moore. in one of the categories someone posted a thread for the top five spiritual books, if you do a search you should find it, that may give you more ideas. |

The Odessa File is a good thriller. All the Presidents Men is an excellent real-world thriller. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainence is also nice.

If you liked Siddhartha by Hesse I strongly recommend his Narcissus and Goldmund. It may be the most powerful novel I've ever read. Maybe you would also like the novel Island by Aldous Huxley for a mixture of spirituality, philsophy, and sociology. Or Brave New World. But Island is more uplifting.
