While I appreciate Siddhartha for exposing the West to eastern thought, it doesn't age well. Instead of Siddhartha, I recommend reading a book or two by Alan Watts. They're just as enjoyable and far more direct.

A perfect modernized telling of Greek mythology. While keeping track of the characters may be difficult for someone entirely new to the subject, Circe is a captivating character that keeps you want to read anyways. Even as someone who loves Greek mythology, I found myself on Wikipedia a handful of times reading the myths behind different characters. Please feel free to do that as this additional curiosity made the story better.
