I really don't know how to put what books i'm into, but these are a few books I read and enjoyed; The Alchemist, 5 people you meet in heaven, the catcher in the rye.

I guess you can say I like a book whether fiction or non, it has to convey some sort of message linked philosophically. Now the message could be dark and cynical, or uplifting and happy; as long as the message is conveyed through the book effectively and engagely interesting. Another book that I want to read is Froth of the Daydream by Boris Van. I tried finding it at my local indigo but they don't have it :( Story has an interesting fictional concept, and a romance story I would perfer over a horror.

Anyways, please if you guys have recommendations send it! It be muchly appreciated.

OH btw, if there are any good womanizer books please send that too :P

Well, that's pretty vague. But I have an idea for you. A while back when I was trying to expand what I read, I went to the local bookstore and picked by one author for every letter of the alphabet. By the time I read through A-z I'd read a lot of classics Id been meaning to hit and a lot of new authors I still enjoy. If you want to start off, I;d recommend "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven." Even if you don't want to start this kind of project, it's a great book; fits your criteria.
