 Definitely The end of your world by adyashanti. In my opionion it's the best no bullshit, straightforward nondual book out there, especially when you're feeling confused and disoriented.

The Book of the Secrets : by Osho, The original series of 80 discourses were simply called ”Vigyan Bhairav Tantra” published as ”Vigyan Bhairav Tantra Volumes 1 and 2. (free download in pdf format)

http://www.oshorajneesh.com/download/osho-books/Tantra/Vigyan_Bhairav_Tantra_Volume_2.pdf 

In this comprehensive and practical guide, the secrets of the ancient science of Tantra become available to a contemporary audience for the first time. Confined to small, hidden mystery schools for centuries, and often misunderstood and misinterpreted today. Tantra is not just a collection of techniques to enhance sexual experience. As Osho shows in these pages, it is a complete science of self-realization, based on the cumulative wisdom of centuries of exploration into the meaning of life and consciousness. Tantra-the very word means "technique"-is a set of powerful, transformative tools that can be used to bring new meaning and joy to every aspect of our daily lives.

@The Universe

Vigyan Bhairav Tantra is an ancient text on meditation.  It contains 112 techniques of Meditation. Basically in the form of a dialogue between lord Shiva and his wife Parvati (refer to as Devi in the book), this books discusses 112  meditation techniques which can be used for realizing our true self.

The book starts with a question from Devi regarding the nature of reality. She asked Shiva about Universe, about fundamental nature of this world, how one can go beyond space and time to understand this truth.

The remaining book is all about Shiva’s answers to Devi’s  queries.

He does not tell her what is.

He tells her a method…then another method.. then another …he goes on.

He tells her how.

He tells her how one can realize this reality…through 112 methods of centering in the self.

The methods are in their seed form. The entire book can be written in one long piece of paper. However, these methods in their seedy form point towards various powerful meditation techniques. On contemplating upon these techniques, one can find one of the most impressive and powerful collections of meditation techniques which are simple yet very effective.

It is said that 112 techniques of meditation of Vigyan Bhairav Tantra are all inclusive. It is said that there is no meditation techniques which has not been covered in Vigyan Bhairav Tantra. These Meditation techniques  are for people of all age and all times. These meditation techniques were for those who had lived in the pasts, for those who are living in the present and for all those who’ll born in future.

This meditation techniques are for all humanity of all time. Past, present, future.

It is said that it is impossible for anybody not to find a technique (out of 112 techniques) suitable to his own level of spiritual development and inner temperament.

I don't know. There are so many good books out there. If I had to choose one I'd probably keep it simple and pick a good translation of the Heart Sutra.
