So Mike found The Pilgram's Progess for me. A book I read at 14 and am sure I lost some where around 16. I loved it. I even slept with it. (a little extreme I know but I had a queen sized bed and all my favorite books were piled on it. Others included the Phantom Tollbooth and my $500 copy of The Divine Comedy

I get what you're trying to say, if only because I've heard you say much of it before. That's not a gripe, simply an acknowledgement of your consistency. Since I happen to agree with you, that consistency is a good thing ;)

Find, if you can, "The Celestial Railway" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. For that matter, find ANY of Hawthorne's short stories. The Scarlet Letter may have value if you can tolerate his rather scattered, indirect writing style and tendency to go on tangents longer than the story itself...that's why I advise his short stories. Limited length, more focus. And some fantastic, if incredibly cynical, observations about humanity. The Celestial Railway (pretty sure that's the right name) is written as a kind of an homage/parody of Pilgrim's Progress.
