I have never heard of those but I would be happy to suggest a few books. Can you give me a little insite as to what kind they are as in fantasy, sword and sorcery, more realist type books, fact based, fiction but plausable, you get the idea right?

I read all kinds of differt books so I might be able to help.

The Five Rings (by Musashi)
The Prophet (You should like if you liked Five People You Meet In Heaven)
Sky Water
The Sunflower
As A Driven Leaf
The Unbearable Lightness Of Being
The Crucible
The Scarlet Letter

I'd also like to reiterate a few:
Watership Down
Musashi
The Communist Manifesto
A Farewell To Arms
All Quiet On The Western Front

Those would be a few good ones...
One I'm taking up to read out of historical interest though is Mein Kampf.
I'm Jewish, and I'd like to know what the nutter wrote in his book... heh.

Well Tuesdays with Morrie is a very sad book. Have you tried Hatchet the second part?
