What should I read next?

[erratio]

a) Sun Tzu's Art of War
b) pop fantasy crap that's quick and easy and fun to read, but the literary equivalent of junk food
c) Machiavelli's The Prince
d) Something else about Carl Jung, the last book I got from the librar is rather.. hmm.. rather simplistic and not very helpful. Also the constant use of the word 'psychic' is distracting, even though Jung meant it in the context of 'psyche'
e) other (offer suggestions)

Not literary junk food, but pretty funky:

1. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez\
2. Chocolat by Joanne Harris (I think)
3. Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel (VERY GOOD READ)

One of the best books that I've read in a long time: "The Ancestor's Tale", by Richard Dawkins. If you're not familiar with his books, he's an evolutionary biologist who holds the Charles Simonyi Chair for Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. It's about 600 pages long, but there's no need to read it all in one go. If you have even the *smallest* shred of interest in evolution or in zoology, I promise you that you won't be able to put it down!

He's also virulently anti-Creationism, and that's always good fun too =P
