My choice is Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God. For those many undergraduates who have read it already, read it again. It is the richest novel and bears numerous re-readings. For those who haven't read it yet, get a copy, and enjoy!
Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives, by Nicholas A. Christakis and James H. Fowler '92
I am a big fan of Connected by Nicholas Christakis (on our faculty) and James Fowler. It is a brilliant and engaging description of the astounding ways in which we are shaped by our social networks.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values, by Robert M. Pirsig
It doesn't have much to do with Zen Buddhism or even motorcycle maintenance. Rather, it is a unique and deeply enjoyable novel laced with thought-provoking philosophical ruminations.
