Do you want corny self-help stuff? Way of the Peaceful Warrior.

Do you want to be reminded that the Universe is a senseless and sometimes cruel place, but come away from the experience oddly okay with that fact? Read the Hitchhiker's Guide series, in order, treating it as one book.

Do you want to feel like maybe the Universe can care about you a little bit, and things might not always be terrible? Contact, by Carl Sagan.
