The Definitive Book of Body Language fits this sorta well
I think the target market is Americans but it touches on a wide variety of cultures.

Just read the Bible. I have been told that if you read it you will find the truth.

Does the word "library" ring a bell?

First I'd reccommend the Encyclopedia, any version, though one with lots of pictures would be best.
Second, I'd check out anything by Jack Kerouac, "Dharma Bums" or "Pic" would be good to begin with.
Third I'd check out "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin. I haven't read it yet, but PINES has reserved it for me.
Fourth I'd read Aldous Huxley's "The Doors of Perception" A great philosophical masterpiece.
5th I'd read Altered States:Creativity under the Influence. It's an awesome book, with lots of pictures, and delves into the psychology of creativity, and how it is influenced by altered state of perception, including mental illness, physical illness, drugs, sexuality, and much more. Seriously, it's great. Here's a link for it:

You're asking at the wrong website man. Nobody here reads books, excpet for Shlongly and those are limited to baseball stats books and old issues of Swank.

There's any easy solution to this problem and it's called THE BIBLE.
Now they have it in a hip and easy-to-read Extreme Teen version.

I need some help too: "The 'Interesting' Collective Works of Kaos King".
I doubt this one exits but it's worth a shot.
