The End Of Time by Julian Barbour
A physics book that attempts a Unified Theory by dismissing Newtonian Space and Time as fallacies. It's written with a good pace and is not totally incomprehensible to the layman, while at the same time being very thorough and concise in it's arguments and offering a good overview on physics, especially Relativity, in general.
Stories Of Five Decades by Herman Hesse
also today I just got The Golden Dawn by Israel Regardie; the teachings and practices of the formerly secret society and an encyclopedia of nearly all knowledge of the western occult/ magic(k) tradition.
