    Try Aghora: At The Left Hand of God by Robert E. Svoboda. It's about his life in India and his experiences with Hindu gods and goddesses. It can get pretty trippy.

    Aldous Huxley is great. And if you're willing to check out some fiction, check out "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch" By Phillip K Dick.

    Here another great deal on some of Phillip K Dick's books that i enjoyed BTW

    Oh you should read Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Mainainance. Its a great book, sort of a blend of 3 books mixed into one story, a book about riding across the US, the story of the person, and this crazy philospohy, both discussing some of the 'great thoughts' and illustrating his own, which has lovely zen influences. Great stoner book, I've read it twice, been meaning to read it again but I've got a huge pile I want to get through first..

    If you are looking for some heavy philosophy, David Hume has some great insights.
