I choose books well and read almost entirely non-fiction so everything I read makes me feel like I learned something and since I choose carefully even the few fiction books, Russian, C. S. Lewis, inform me.
I challenge anyone to read a Thomas Sowell book about anything, and not feel smarter afterward.

“I and Thou”, by Martin Buber. Very easy to read. Might take decades to understand. Best to contemplate each sentence for a day.

Gulag Archipelago and excellent book!
Along those lines, anything by Ayn Rand. She came from Russia and knew the evils of Communism first hand. She also predicted America's slippery slope into the situation we are in today ("Atlas Shrugged" and "Fountainhead").
Also, Adam Smith's "Wealth Of Nations". It can be a dry read but once you get through it, you totally understand why Capitalism is the best economic system every devised - so far.
