Lord of Altera
The Time Traveler's guide to Medieval England
I'm not exactly sure this is thought provoking, but I like to look through it and compare it with the server lore and character behaviours.

Evil
All your english books ;-;
I got one book that really made me cry and think a lot.
Kom, hviskede han - Come, he whispered
This book follows death, himself, flying around guiding people to a better place. They put him in a way where death isn't the evil and the one who is evil is life sometimes, as she sometimes doesn't want to release suffering people and let death guide them to a better place.
One of the conclusion I found (and the only one I want to spoil) is.
Sometimes death can be the good and life the bad.

El General en su Laberinto, a Spanish book that did get me thinking.

The Screwtape Letters
The Abolition of Man
The Great Divorce

All by C. S. Lewis and generally can be found in a single volume on Amazon or similar book stores. (Search for the Complete C. S. Lewis)

My favourite author at the moment is Terry Pratchett.
He's best known for his very silly and laugh-out-loud comedy in his writing in the Discworld series, but what a lot of people tend to overlook is how deeply allegorical his subjects are to the real world and how we live in it. His commentary is fascinating, scary, hilarious, and has a charm that I've only found in a few other authors, those including Tolkien and Lewis.
The Colour of Magic is the first book, but it doesn't really matter what order you read them in (there are at least 50 in the series). Moving Pictures and Music with Rocks in (or Soul Music) are my favourites. Wyrd Sisters is another, if you enjoy Shakespeare parodies (albeit much darker).
The movies in absolutely no way shape or form convey the power behind the messages of the novels
Edit-
Though, as an afterthought- The Discworld novels aren't his most thought provoking books. If you'd like some really deep, saddening commentary on how humans treat the planet, pick up the Bromeliad series. Similar to the Borrowers, it follows the story of a few very small people in a very big world.

I read it when I was a lot younger and was expecting some form of child's story. For me it had more than expected, I guess.Metaphor for communism. It's got about as much as you'd expect

I've read most of these, or seen the movie. I think I'll just pop in The Fault in Our Stars, If I Stay and the Obernewtyn Chronicles.
I think what makes a thought-provoking book is one that makes you consider how things would happen, or what you would do in a situation that's out of the ordinary, and these books do
