Nonetheless, I think it a wise thing for an aspiring rationalist to read at least one book of Buddhist or Taoist or Zen philosophy - preferably a book in its original English, recommended to you by some mathematician or programmer or scientist.

Eliezer, you're a mathematician and programmer and scientist. Recommend a book on the subject, please.
