Giles, If you like to read, there is a wonderful site you might enjoy visiting....www.whatis.com. Then you go to 'Latest Discoveries' and then 'One Book List'. It is a listing, with short review, of nearly 800 books, submitted by over 1,000 people as the single book that, for them, was the most influential, or thought-provoking, or enjoyable, or moving, or philosophically powerful, etc. that they wish everyone in the world would read.
