I'd hoped to make it to fifty, but my initial memory doesn't seem to support this fact.

Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies is a series of stories from a foundation of India's culture. I would recommend reading it for the color, no double entendre intended, of the emotion evoked by her prose. I wish to do it properly as an adult, so as I read I shall share here, and this then is number one. What a good idea for a community!

El-Folklore Filipino originally by Isabelo Reyes, Number Two.
This is in Spanish Pilipino, sometimes called Florante. It was written in 1899 but translated by Salud Cordoba Dizon and Maria Elinora Peralta-Imson into English in 1994. I confess it is my love of Imelda Marcos that kept me reading. Very Northern perspective.

Book #3 TAO I: The Source of My Life;
Book #4 The Power of Soul: The Way to Heal, Transform, and Enlighten All Life;
Book #5 TAO II: The Way of Healing, Rejuvenation, Longevity and Immortality;
Book #6 Divine Transformation: The Divine Way to Self Clear Karma To Transform Your Health, Finances, and More;
Book #7 TAO SONG AND TAO DANCE;

I learned from Master Sha's website that he even does personal, one on one sessions, which is remarkably difficult to find, a master who is willing to meet people who could benefit from his teaching.

A series of fortunate reads. Recommended for those who wish to learn about Chinese healing.

Book 8: Shu Fa, by Zhi Chui is remarkable for the calligraphy work. Sensible and respectable portraits available of the masters also. Recommended for aspirant scholars.

Book #9 Las Elegidas;
Book #10 Tiempo de Cenizas, No será la Tierra, novela en tres actos Versión definitiva;
Book #11 La Paz de los Sepulcros;
Book #12 Días de ira : tres narraciones en tierra de nadie Primera edición;

The translations of Books 9 through 12 are as follows, in English:
The Elegies;
Time of Ashes, On Earth Not Known, A Novel In Three Acts Definitive Version;
The Peace of the Sepulchres;
Days of Wrath: Three Narrations on Earth of Nothing First edition.

I have never been more frightened in my life. I found that two Spanish classes in high school, three Spanish classes in college, and twenty years of aspiring to literacy could not prepare me for the beauty and the tragedy, the push to life, and the horror. Highly recommended, if you know Spanish.
