Books that I liked:

Children's books

• The Neverending Story, Michael Ende (the English translation sucks - where are all the pictures, headings, etc, etc???)
• Raika, Kamui Fujiwara and Yu Terashima (Japonese Manga - only in French and discontinued -- execrable English edition available but also discontinued - stick with the french -, there is also a spanish translation, it seems.)
• Dragonball (manga - actually I only saw the tv series)
• Ranma 1/2,Rumiko Takahashi (Manga)
• The Harry Potter series, JK Rowling
• The Hobbit,Tolkien
• First four volumes of Evangelion,(the tv series are better)

Philosophy books

• Laches,Plato (on courage)
• Politics,Aristotle
• Some of Kant's works (he writes in a complicated way though)
• Some Foucault (specially History of Sexuality, vol.1)
• Some Rawls (some problems with justification of political theory - too much in A Theory of Justiceand perhaps too little in Political Liberalism)
• There are others (like Oakeshott), but this will do.

Religious books

• Tolstoy, The Gospel in Brief

In my early teens

• Milan Kundera and Herman Hesse.
• The Perfume,by Patrick Süskind
• The Name of the Rose, of Umberto Eco

When a young kid

• Enid Blyton
