Edie:
- "Man's
Search for Meaning"
by Viktor Frankl
This book is about Dr. Frankl's experiences in Auschwitz. Auschwitz,
the place where people were not seen as people anymore and treated as
less than animals. In one scene, there is a sign on the train, "Please
don't feed the Jews." Tossing a piece of bread into the train compartment
where the prisoners were crammed, only resulted in people getting trampled
upon in each person's desperate effort to quell his hunger. Despite
torture, starvation, and the constant threat of death, Dr. Frankl managed
to find the will to live in a place where the captives often committed
suicide. How he found this strength was profoundly inspiring despite
the deeply sad circumstances. A soul stirring book.
- "The Witch
of Blackbird Pond" by Elizabeth George Speare
Don't be misled by the title, it's not a horror novel; the main themes
are bigotry, superstition, being an outcast.
- "Flowers
for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes
A retarded man in his 30's is given an operation to increase his intelligence.
The ending made me cry. For the younger folks, I'd recommend the short
story version. (Sex scenes in novel). Young adult.
- "A Tale
of Two Cities"
by Charles Dickens
A tightly interwoven story. Historical (French Revolution). It's got
adventure and some romance. A cutting edge classic. Young adult/older.
- "What
Do You Say After You Say Hello" by Eric Berne
About life scripts, both positive and negative. May have to be specially
ordered, but still around. By the same author as Games People Play.
- Anything by Elizabeth
Kubler Moss and Raymond Moody
These were the pioneers in death/after-death experiences.
- "Freaky
Deaky" by Elmore Leonard
Crime adventure. It has the same grit and pacing as "Pulp Fiction."
