Reading makes you smarter (according to me), but only if you expand your horizons and read books which provide answers to questions you've never thought of asking, or provide a new angle on old problems. All of these books meet at least one of those criteria. Whether or not you agree with what the books say, it's important to test your ideas against them to see how they hold up.
The World Without Us
The Ethical Brain
Atlas Shrugged
Primates and Philosophers
Catch-22
Cat's Cradle
The Bible
The God Delusion
The Singularity is Near
I guarantee that any one of these books will expand your mind, just keep that mind open and base your judgments on the actual content, not what you think you know.
