If you are looking for books on Indian sages and nondual traditions there is so much to explore.
Works by Ramana Maharshi, Swami Ramdas, Ramakrishna, Anandamayi Ma, Atmananda Krishna Menon, Shirdi Sai Baba, Neem Karoli Baba, Nityananda of Ganeshpuri, just to name a few great and well-known sages.
Works by Adi Shankara, Jnaneshwar and Abhinavagupta.
Classical texts like the Yoga Vasistha (big read), the major Upanishads, Tripura Rahasya, Tantrasara, Pratyabhijna Hridayam. Depending on where your interest and focus lies.

I must suggest Autobiography of a Yogi book for biggener. Autobiography of a Yogi is an autobiography of Paramahansa Yogananda first published in 1946.
Firstly one should understand there are so many cult culture which talks about spirituality. One one has to understand what cult culture is! Happy Reading!
