"Mister God, this is Anna" - by Fynn
"To Kill a Mockingbird" - Harper Lee
"A Child Called It" - David Pelzer
"The South American Handbook" - Footprints
I read "Mister God..." at school and cried and bought the book more than ten years later and cried all over again. Its such a moving book about a friendship that from the outside seems wrong but is full of innocence, warmth and love. It says so much about love, trust and friendships. "To Kill..." speaks for itself, and "A Child Called It" has got to be the best in a genre of cathartic auto-biography....unless I can add "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" and the rest of Maya Angelou's auto-biographical books too? Which I should do so consider that the fifth!
Why the last one when the others examine different kinds of relationships (good and bad) within communities and all? Well, because the Lonely Planet might be the 'bible' when it comes to travelling East, but if you want to travel in South America Footprints have it covered better than any other and they were the first to produce a guidebook that catered for backpackers, with the South American handbook being the first of these. It deserves a bit of credit for that!

i love this book called "Hatiku di harajuku" (My heart in Harajuku). It's a malay novel written by the malaysian author Ramlee A.Mursyid. I must say it's the best malay novel i've ever read so far. It's a story about a young malaysian who was born in prison and his mother died while serving her punishment in the prison. He was then raised up in an orphan house and later moved to japan to further his study and start a new life there. He fell in love with the daughter of the famous Yakuza leader. and he sacrificed himself to join the yakuza just to get closed to her. it's a very sad love story where you will learn about how people will sacrifice their own life just to win the love of their life. and it shows how love could instantly change a person into someone they're not. wer people are willing to kill each other just to get back what they want. where u learn that being vengeful is not healthy.

Definately 'East of Eden' by John Steinbeck. Parts of the book moved me to tears. It takes a special kind of writer to do that.
