Hermann Hesse; four recommended books
Siddhartha
Demian

Magister Ludi

you should probably read Siddhartha or Demian first and Magister Ludi definitely later.

Don Miguel Ruiz, two
The Four Agreements
The Mastery of Love

Paulo Coelho, any but especially
The Alchemist
The Fifth Mountain

Carlos Castaneda
dont worry about the first book, A Yaqui Way of Knowledge; start with A Separate Reality or Journey to Ixtalan. A Separate Reality was the one that really started things changing for me, but it is different for many people.

well thats the short list, many are stories others are textbooks all are good.

It also happens to be the longest books listed here. read it chapter by chapter.
