There are just so many - some of which have been mentioned already, but anyway:

Chaos: Making a New Science - James Gleick
Complexity: Life at the Edge of Chaos - Roger Lewin
The Collapse of Chaos: Discovering Simplicity in a Complex World (Penguin Science) - Jack Cohen, Ian Stewart
The Three Pillars of Zen - Kapleau
The Dice Man - Luke Rhinehart
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance - Robert M. Pirsig
Foundation Series - Isaac Asimov
Hitchikers Guide to The Galaxy - Douglas Adams
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest - Ken Kesey
Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
1984 and Animal Farm - George Orwell
Earthsea Trilogy - Ursula Le Guin

I can recomend anything by Douglas Adams (the Dirk Gently series especially brought up some interesting Philosophical ideas), and the Jack Cohen/Ian Stewart books are unusually good too.
