I'm in the process of reading Ken Wilbur's "A Brief History of Everything" and am absolutely loving it- since I'm in a period of a bit of insecurity re: external conditions, I'm especially loving how this books seems to sooth my worry mechanisms.
Other books I've read that have been great allies when things were difficult:
Little Prince by Antoine St-Expurey (probably mangled that spelling) The Places that Scare Us- Pema Chodrun If on a winter's night a travelor- Italo Calvino Einstien's Dreams- Alan Lightman Temple of My Familiar- Alice Walker Les Miserables- Victor Hugo About a Boy- Nick Hornby

I made an extensive list of good books to recommend for my friend Sandy in my own journal here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/eversearching/262156.html#cutid1. And I'll try to remember more of the books that I've loved deeply tonight.
