May I suggest:

The Unberable Lightness of Being
The Alchemist – It will make you believe in your dreams again.
Veronica Decides to Die – It will change the way you think of “normal.”
The Russian Concubine & The Girl from Junchow – Just good stories.
The Fabric of the Cosmos – It explains theory of space, time, matter, and reality. {It’s physics, but in terms that us non-scientifically minded people can understand.}
The Life of Pi – Will blow your mind.
