Non-Fiction: "The Axemaker's Gift", or "Godel, Escher, Bach: the Eternal Golden Braid" if you REALLY want to excercise your brain. I had to re-read sections of that three times before I could follow them completely.
Fiction: "To Reign in Hell", by Stephen Brust. A beautiful explanation of what *really* happened in Heaven, between Yahweh and Satan, where angels and humans come from, and just who Yeshua was and how it came to pass. Guaranteed to be thought-provoking, even to those of us who find the Bible more interesting as a collection of legends and mythology and a few useful guidelines for living than anything else.
