I don't read nearly as often as I should, so I will add the above to my list. As for book contributions, I really enjoyed...

My favorites were:
The Art of War
The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine

Not required for college, but gives a whole different glimpse into another way of thinking.
