Hey Porpoise,

you're so right about it being difficult to choose!

Here are three books that have had a major influence on me;

Charles Darwin a Biography

by Peter J, Bowler.

Pythagoras' Trousers:

God, Physics and the Gender Wars.

by Margaret Wertheim.

The Art of Happiness:

A Handbook for Living

by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Howard C, Cutler M.D.

There are too many that are too good but just for the heck of it let's try "The Third Eye" by Lobsang Rampa.
