I was just thinking that about John Stamos the other day when i saw that commercial. You should bring "The Perks of being a Wallflower".

I'd go with "On The Road", by Jack Kerouac. That book friggin' rocks.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. A little clichéd here and there, but an overall good read. Plus the rest of the series will knock you flat.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

Neil down and obey.. wrote:Ray's book "The Age of Spiritual Machines" is actually quite kick ass.
Definately. If you haven't read this, do it.
<- read it twice
It's pretty heavy reading, but amazingly interesting.

Catcher In The Rye by JD Sallinger
East of Eden by....I think Steinbeck. The guy who wrote Grapes of Wrath.

I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

my bro just bought "Are We Spiritual Machines?: Ray Kurzweil Vs. the Critics of Strong AI"
He hasn't really stopped reading since he's gotten it.

i got about halfway through, reading every page twice or more. and i was still completely lost.
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know
