I think "life-changing" and "Mind Bending" aren't necessarily the same thing, but they do occasionally overlap. I tried to read some Tom Clancy, under the context that the American Public have him for breakfast...that stuff is scary!!! |

Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk is really interesting and fun. Not really life changing but still a great read |

Sounds like you're right there with the Ingenuity Gap. Some Psychological/Philosophical candy worth nibbling at is "The Mind's I", a collection of essays and short works editted by Douglas Hofstadter and Daniel Dennett. I can pick it up and read for 15 minutes, finish a short piece, and have my brain bouncing for weeks after! |

I would also recommend Douglas Rushkoff..but the idiot is so topical that each passing years reneders his text obsolete..plus he's also a bit of a hypocrite and a total sell out...but he had some interesting views..see's himself as a modern day McLuhan.. his book Cyberia is all there at http://www.textz.com (thank you phiz) I downloaded it last night.. also try Media Virus |

Eco is brilliant!!! I've tried to pick up other esoteric "conspiracy" bits like the illuminati (sp?) triolgy, but got distracted. You should try a few of the Robertson Davies Trilogies. Very Jungian, very well constructed! (90% of Canadian had to read it in school, though. |

Ok .. you probably got enough good suggestions already - but if you're going to check out textz.com I highly recommend d/l and reading the article "Radical Thought" by Jean Baudrillard . Not exactly a book, 8 pages or so in ascii. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I am on my way there to scoop up all the Baudrillard I can :) I just discovered it last night..what a cool site ... |
