Couldn't get all the PDF's at the moment, but just google the name of the book and then "PDF" for a potential online copy. Highly recommend all of these– Frankenstein and The Myth of Sisyphus are must in general. Alan Watts is great for synthesizing Zen thought as well.
This chakra balancing meditation is great

This book is amazing and the chapter "Enlightenment and Ignorance" is such a detailed and clear explanation of the Buddhas idea of enlightenment and his take on what emptiness has to do with our being and existence. The Buddha argues against an only meditative resignation mindset. He think that you should seek the truth and be at one with reality and that the ignorance will blind you.

Francis Bacon on Society and human nature
Ethics of Ambiguity by Simone de Beauviour
I would reccomend Kierkegaard, Foucault, Marx, Hannah Arendt works on human nature, society, existence.
This is another good translation

This one is greatly recommended by Alan Watts :) You should also check out his books, the way of zen and other books on meditation and zen! His work is really entertaining and eye opening.
