Here are the books I've read this month, I recommend them all:

1.) The Heart Sutra (Red Pine translation)
2.) The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are (Alan Watts)
3.) The Dhammapada (translation by Gil Fronsdal)
4.) The Diamond Sutra (Translation by A.F. Price and Wong Mou-lam)
5.) and almost done with Money, Sex, War, Karma: Notes for a Buddhist Revolution (David R. Loy)

hmmm... notice a theme? If you are interested at all in eastern philosophy, Buddhism, or alternative ways of thinking then these are a great place to start!

If you are new to the ideas of Buddhism, that last book is written with a Westerner upbringing in mind so it eases into things.
