Those are great historic books. But if you are looking for something that is recent that is fun to read I would suggest an author rather then the book. His name is Ted Bell. He writes similarly to Tom Clancy but his novels always climax on each chapter and leave you begging for more. He has 3 books in a series so far with a main character named Alex Hawke. He is a Former Military military man( their form of the SEALs, not sure what the name is), he is wealthy because he is a descendant of a great Pirate. Anyway the books are always great reads and very hard to put down after you get started. He is going to have another book out this coming summer. His previous books were: 1st Assassin, 2nd Pirate, and Spy. They all have realistic scenarios and like I said is fun to read. I would suggest it highly.

Red I don't think he's looking for a tom clancy kind of novel.


Someone said Siddhartha by Herman Hess. Very good book, not too long, but provokes a lot of thought and opens up a new perspective on eastern religions.

Plato and any of the Ancient greek philosophers are always good. Allegory of the Cave is like 4 pages long though, and very simple. Aristotle's works on happiness are enjoyable.

Allegory of the Cave is a good reading if you just want a quick read.

Now thats what I am looking for, a book that can make me think and analize things in a different way.

I will also look into all the other books posted, but I am looking for something to teach me about life or the way of life for other people.

Has anyone read "Ruminations" by KRS-ONE I also hear that is a great book.

I'm telling ya ... The Four Agreements.* From the author's* website:

"Everything we do is based on agreements we have made - agreements with ourselves, with other people, with God, with life. But the most important agreements are the ones we make with ourselves. In these agreements we tell ourselves who we are, how to behave, what is possible, what is impossible. One single agreement is not such a problem, but we have many agreements that come from fear, deplete our energy, and diminish our self-worth."

In this powerful book that has remained on The New York Times Bestseller List for over five years, don Miguel reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. When we are ready to change these agreements, there are four deceptively simple, yet powerful agreements that we can adopt as guiding principles. The Four AgreementsTM offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.



The Four AgreementsTM

1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret
