As a Man Thinketh
by James Allen
good 'self-help' book, you should also read 'The Way of Peace' by same author.

Now It Can Be Told
by Philip Gibbs
The best War(anti)book I have ever read.
As a 65 y.o.ex war veteran, & avid History reader, I am so glad to have found this wonderful book. It explains so much more than the actual horrific War, rather the sad Nature of Man, the way we are doomed to repeat our tragic mistakes.
Should be compulsory reading in all languages, & a PASS/FAIL topic for aspiring Politicians.

Fifteen Thousand Useful Phrases
by Grenville Kleiser
An amusing book, though better suited as a reference rather than as a reading book. Possibly more helpful for those seeking to sound more refined or at least a little more literate while writing essays and the like, not so much for everyday speech. :)

Blindsight
by Peter Watts
It's a great hard sci-fi story. The only real downsite is that there is so little of it. But in literature there are feasts (Lord or the Rings) and there are appetizers. Blindsight is a veritable appetizer buffet. I,too, dislike needless jargon but besides the questionable "noosphere" there is almost none of that in Blindsight.
To people like Noam I can only say: why read and "indie" author like Peter Watts in a necessarily technical genre like sci fi if you aren't willing to be challenge by the fare you read? I'm DELIGHTED whenever a book makes me want to lookup some term or person. For example, Tesla is a standard measurement for magnetic field strength and 12 teslas is quite bad indeed (not that one couldn't have gotten that from the book) considering the earths magnetic field is only 31 micro teslas strong.
I'm really not judging you but seriously, if Blindsight is to hard for you, you might want to pick your books from the entry area of your favorite bookstore.

Library of the World's Best Literature, Ancient and Modern, Volume 1
by Various Authors
When I first read the description of this I was reminded of the plot of Kilo. I could just see a traveling salesman selling these books to set on the shelf next to the dictionary. That is exactly where it belongs. The biographies of the authors are very interesting along with the critical comments. However, the excerpts of the stories are way too short, although they do give you a general ideal of the writing style of each author. The whole book reads like my 11th grade world lit book, but I did read all of that,too. Helpful hint if your reader is anything like mine, book mark the start of each author section. I'd get to the end of the story, decide that I would like to read more and then have to back page till I found the authors name again. If your looking for a good story, fun read, this is not for you. I have learned a lot and do plan on working my way through the rest of the series.

The Nabob
by Alphonse Daudet
The Nabob is a nouveau-riche former lower class peasant, attempting to attain the highest levels of Parisian society. He almost makes it. Very readable, great plot.

Nights With Uncle Remus
by Joel Chandler Harris
This is a really enchanting book I remember from childhood. It takes a while to get the hang of the dialect, but it is worth the effort and provides some charming stories.
