Funnily enough, that is just a different name for the Sword and the Scimitar, which I mentioned earlier.

Glad you read it. I've been trying to convince people to do so for a while now.

Nope. His inner eye forewarns him of what we'll post allowing him to reply.

I just bought Dancing with Eternity. Might be worth a read.

I know this is rather late, but I think you would enjoy the book Calculating God by Robert J Sawyer.

The Brothers Karamasov and The Fool by Dostojewsky

the following two by Bulgakow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Bulgakov):
Master and Margerita (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Master_and_Margarita) and The White Guard

The Man Without Qualities by Robert Musil (this book has sadly no ending, but its still great)

See if there are a collection of "Herr Keuner" stories by Bertol Brecht (his only stuff i like)

Narcissus and Goldmund, Siddhartha, Steppenwolf, Beneath the Wheel (also published as The Prodigy) by Hermann Hesse

all of the above are bellitristik literature. you should find them there.

American gods by neil gaiman (fiction/contemporary literature/fantasy)

Slaughter-house 5, Sirens of Titan and/or Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Among my favorite authors. Easy to read. Often quite humorous but is philosophical and poignant too. Many are ostensibly sci-fi, but I wouldn't consider him a science fiction author.

EDIT: Oops. This suggestion is for when you return your first batch.

But 'shhh', says Dumbledore to the baby, and 'shhh', he says to the lady. As Hagar gnashes his teeth in inner conflict and almost drowns in snotty, fearful tears, his master Dumbledore tells him to wait in the frickin' car if he has to. And the baby is left, the baby with the most telling of scars, the baby that is the seed of power, the baby that is the inheritor of the horrible, hoary hammer of the gods, Harry, the wizard who was destined to vanquish all evil, and, if he so wish, bring it back again!
