hi all,
i jus went to this website that does book rentals ( http://www.apogeez.com/ ) and i
thought of recommending it.
they offer chinese and english selection of books and in my
opinion, the books you can see there are alittle different from the
rest of those you see out there. books from this site are not all
the feel good cuddly kind, but they still offer a very good read.
best part is, they offer FREE delivery!! 
this site is a local site, and they only do local sales and
delivery so far, so sorry to the overseas counterparts. 
some books i would recommend are...

The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Author: Mitch Albom
All endings are also beginnings. We just dont know it at the
time
From the author of the phenomenal number one bestseller Tuesdays
with Morrie, comes this enchanting, beautifully written novel that
explores a mystery only heaven can unfold.
Eddie is a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in the toil of
his father before him, fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. As
the park has changed over the years from the Loop-the-Loop to the
Pipeline Plunge so, too, has Eddie changed, from optimistic youth
to embittered old age. The war left him wounded. His days tumbled
into one another, a mix of loneliness, regret and sad dreams of
what could have been.
Then, on his eighty-third birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic
accident, trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. With
his final breath, he feels two small hands in his and then
nothing. He awakes in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is
not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is
explained to you by five people who were in it. These people may
have been loved ones or distant strangers. Yet each of them changed
your path for ever.
As the story builds to its stunning conclusion, Eddie desperately
seeks redemption in the still-unknown last act of his life: was it
a heroic success or a devastating failure? The answer, which comes
from the most unlikely of sources, is a magical and inspirational
as a glimpse of heaven itself.
In The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom gives us an
astoundingly original story that will change everything youve ever
thought about the afterlife and the meaning of our lives here on
earth. With a timeless tale, appealing to all, this is a book that
readers of fine fiction, and those who loved Tuesdays with Morrie,
will treasure.
