...and I don't mean any children's book. I want some, maybe philosophical, or a book that'll make me think about things. I haven't found anything intresting sofar.

My favourite novel is Remembrances of Things Past, by French writer Marcel Proust. Seven volumes, 3,000 pages, no heroes, no vilains, just real life. The English title is not very proper, the original in French was A la Recherche du Temps Perdu, or Searching for Lost Time.
Recently, I liked The Code Book or The Book of Codes (is there any difference?). After reading how the Polish guy alone deciphered Enigma after the British Secret Service had given up, itīs interesting to think about how intelligence is superior to $$$.
