Some great books

by Forrest Sheng Bao http://fsbao.net

There are some great books I always want too read. Following books are so famous that you can find them in online bookstore so easily. I cannot guarantee that you can find them in local bookstores coz they won't be as popular as movie stars' biographies. But they will definitely be in stock in next hundreds of years whereas movie stars' biographies will be dust in next 100 years.
