Default HAN, recommend me a book

dear HAN,

please recommend some books for leisure reading. i prefer non-fiction, societal/cultural related, historical, mystical/philosophical thought, etc.

do not recommend stuff you read in high school, romance novels, fiction, or the bible.

thank you,
tsd

I could recommend a lot of good historical type books, but they're not very leisurely h:

Sun Tzu: The Art of War


i'm kind of reading it a little here and there, mainly while i'm reading "heart of darkness" (book "apocalypse now" was based off of). It's more like an outline than a storyline, but it's very interesting nonetheless.

Duck,

It is basically a book about the clash of two cultures, the traditional Hmong and western medicine. The book does a good job of presenting the Hmong culture to those who arent familiar with it...and it does it in a way where you grow, fall for, and feel with the characters.

The story is not so much depressing, but sad...but a good sad.


Signed,
b00gers
