Fiction
Lord of Light - by Roger Zelazny
"What happens when ordinary people become Gods? That's perhaps the best question to describe this book with. I was blown away at how Lord of Light takes the ideas of technocracy and social engineering seen in the likes of Brave New World and 1984, but instead walks the line between religious fantasy and intergalactic science-fiction. It got me thinking about the emotional and spiritual components in the current assault on liberty in a way I don't think other works of fiction have quite been able to do. I'm happy to call it one of my favourites."
Tom Shaw
Brave New World - by Aldous Huxley
Fahrenheit 451 - by Ray Bradbury
1984 - by George Orwell
Atlas Shrugged - by Ayn Rand
"Atlas Shrugged truly encapsulates the emotion of having the world on your shoulders, and the story is rich with adventure, suspense, romance, and deep philosophical exploration. It goes without question that Ayn Rand was one of the most significant authors and philosophers of her time, and this is a heavy read encapsulating her very finest ideas presented through thread of ever-elevating suspense and depth."

You Can Heal Your Life - by Louise Hay
"You Can Heal Your Life easily explains how effective and powerful our minds are regarding self talk and manifestations. Her belief is that we draw in what we put out there, and that its really important to become aware of everything you think as your brain actually works for you and isn't this uncontrollable thing that just sits inside your skull!"
