Well, if you want some really odd stuff, the anarchist texts "Desert" and "Against His-Tory, Against Leviathan" both point... in a way.
James Scott will, by contrast, sound a bit more moderate. "Two Cheers for Anarchism" and "Seeing Like a State" are interesting (to me) texts.
But really, I'd suggest more direct volunteering. I am gonna go do the 10:30p-2:30a shift at my local warming shelter tonight. Food Not Bombs has a lot of jerks in it, but a lot of those same folks are really helping people who need help.
Doing that kind of direct work can teach you a lot, I think. More than reading, at least. You have to approach it as if you know little about the world, though.
