The last best book I have read is The Curious Incident of a Dog at Night Time. It offered me a new perspective on approaching things and generating ideas from my imagination. In this story, every reader would be surprised to find out another possible way of seeing our surrounding, that is being literal. Christopher's (protagonist) ways may look very possible, only human beings like us perceive it as impossible. And then I realized that if we do look at things his way, then perhaps the world may be a better place. Nonetheless, however great is the power of the intellect of Christopher is as much as he lacks in the ways of the hearts of people around him and his own heart as well.
I really suggest that everyone reads this book!

It was the novel, "THE NINJA", by ERIC van LUSTBADER!
The man's a GREAT descriptive writer, - setting scenes, and building tension, SO WELL, that I was absolutely, TRANSFIXED, - for a time, it seemed like I had become PART of the book, - like I was THERE, - SEEING, FEELING and SMELLING, all the things, that he described! My copy was almost FIVE HUNDRED pages long, - I finished it, in TWO evenings' reading! I just COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!

Last "best book"? That would be "The Kite Runner". Awesome book!!! Very sad, but very good. Educational, too, in light of the problems in the middle east now.
