An unexpected favorite I found by accident is called "Meeting with Japan" by Fosco Maraini (it was a thrift store find, and I have a habit of grabbing just about any book I find about Japan). It is a chronicle of his return to Japan in the 1950's after he had lived there during World War II . It chronicles not only his travels, but his views on art (a truly fine sensibility too!), religion, philosophy, the state of the roads, an incident where he and a friend had a flat tire in a small village that just happened to be the home of a man who died of radiation poisoning after being caught on the unfortunate fishing trawler in the wake of the Bikini island nuclear test. Tours of shrines and private homes of people he knew during the war, even a recollection of his internment as an internal POW after the Italian armistice in 1943 (he was an Italian national teaching at Kyoto University-but he wasn't a fascist). He met old friends in Japan and made amazing observations that are counterpointed against his prewar remembrances. It is a truly personal and well-rounded look at Japan in transition after World War II.

Heir Apparant. (spelling?) I do not remember the authors name but this book made me laugh out loud, literaly. I think the main charcter is 14 or 15 so it really depends, I think, on what kind of book you like. I'm 16 and have been told I am very mature for my age and this is one of my favorite books. :) Hope you like it.

my favorite book was "transall saga". It's about a boy who gets lost in the future by a blue beam of light and the there is a completely different kind of human.

One of my most recent favorites is 'A Fine Balance' about poverty and caste in India and "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" about friendship in China.

Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. It's an autobiography, but very humorous.
