The themes of the short stories selected in the anthology Insights include ethnic conflict, gender bias, violence, man-woman relationship, the central character in conflict with established social values, personal trauma, spiritual quest, etc. Insights features stories of a great variety. Several of the authors included in Insights reveal in their short stories the impact of John Collier's "Bottle Party"(1939), Elizabeth Bowen's "The Demon Lover" (1941), Saki's "Tobermory" (1911), Isak Dinesen's "The Sailor-Boy's Tale" (1942), E. B. White's "The Door" (1939), E. M. Forster's "The Celestial Omnibus" (1908), Nadine Gordimer's "Termitary" ( 1974), Hemingway's "In Another Country" (1927), Margaret Atwood's "Significant Moments in the Life of My Mother" (1983), Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" ( 1931), Katherine Anne Porter's "Flowering Judas" (1930), Flannery O'Connor's "A Good Man Is Hard To Find" (1953), Arthur Schnitzler's "Fate of the Baron" (1923), Mary McCarthy's "The Man in the Brooks Brothers Shirt" (1941). Best short stories "can be read in an hour and remembered for a lifetime' (Benet). Short-story seems to be an ideal genre for the 21st century afflicted with "a stressful mix of rat race and numbing routine".

I read this book the other day called Hunger by Knut Hamsun from Norway
Its a story about this writer who is literally starving to death because he is suffering from bouts of insanity and can't write anything worthwhile.

This book blew my mind although it was written in 1890, I couldnt stop reading because I had to know what was going to happen to this guy next. His real life adventures were just so fascinating and bizarre. Supposedly the story was based on the authors real experiences as a young man.

You can read the book for free by going to project gutenberg online
just type/gutenberg hamsun hunger/ into search to find it

Depends on how old you are and how deep you want to go. Mostly on if you have reached adulthood or not. Passages was a popular choice years ago, some of it still applies. Fictional books by Mitch Albom are popular. Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance - hugely over-rated and out of date. Stuff by the old and new philosophers. Just depends on what exactly you are after...
that u know at the end isn't a reference to HHGG, is it ?

The Little Prince by by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
