I recently finished Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins. While it is essentially a fantasy novel, the theme of the story felt to me like a social commentary influenced by new age and eastern religious ideals.

I'm currently reading Samuel Avery's The Pipeline and the Paradigm, in hopes to get a more complete grasp of the Keystone XL situation than a news article here and there provides. I would recommend it to others who are interested in the subject but don't know where to start; the facts are concise and the commentary is charismatic.
