I'm not great at making these types of lists because my picks keep changing all the time, but in terms of books I'll just throw out a few of my favs:
The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins
Against All Enemies - Richard Clarke
The Trial - Franz Kafka
It's Superman - Tom deHaven
The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
The gazebo scene in The Sound of Music, after the Baroness leaves.
I just rewatched SoM the other day and this scene always makes me giggle. The Captain leans down to kiss her and she erupts into song. I'd've been pissed if I'd been him
