How about some real books?

- Narziss & Goldmund, by Herman Hesse

- One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Gabriel Garcia Marques

- Crime and Punishment, by Dostoievsky

- The Trial, by Kafka

- L'étranger, by Albert Camus

If you want to build your character, read the real stuff: fiction.

I've read all of them except the last one. And I can assure that it's definitely a good stuff. And makes you think more than a little. Which is also a good stuff.

The Stranger is a wonderfully annoying book. Well, the book itself isn't annoying its more the character that annoys me... and the light imagery.
