4. Man Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl
5. Siddhartha by
Hermann Hesse
6. Tales of a Female Nomad by Rita Golden Gelman
7. The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout
8. In a Sunburned Country, A Short History of Nearly Everything, Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe and Shakespeare by Bill Bryson
9. Born On a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet
10. The Valkyries, The Devil and Miss Prym, The Alchemist by Paul Coelho

I can't believe I almost forgot this book:

11. THE LAST LECTURE by Randy Pausch

Definitely read this book or watch it on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo
Randy Pausch was a professor at Carnegie Mellon. He died of cancer and this is literally his last lecture. The video is a hour long and it is well worth watching. Just make sure you have some tissue withing reaching distance.
