You could try out Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac, has elements of Buddhism throughout.

"The Dharma Bums was published one year after On the Road made Jack Kerouac a celebrity and a spokesperson for the Beat Generation. Sparked by his contagious zest for life, the novel relates the adventures of an ebullient group of Beatnik seekers in a freewheeling exploration of Buddhism and the search for Truth."

I continue to do the same with Dharma Bums. There's something about not getting the book back that's I secretly enjoy.
