I LOVE those books, I am reading his whole series, and those two would have to be my favorite just for enjoyment of the things that he went through with Stalking Wolf and the things he has done. Those two books are what got me into reading all his other ones.

There is still learning in these books, not as much...well not as much for a normal reader, if you understand how Tom teaches, there is a lot more information, but these books mainly describe the history of how he came to be the person he is today and what drove him. Some of the stories are absolutely hilarious. Enjoy

Have you ever tried a store called half priced books? I don't know if they have a store near you or not, if so, you can get great prices! Another place is Barnes and Nobles, they have great clearance sales constantly going.



http://www.halfpricebooks.com/ here is half priced website, I looked at the store locator and it said no stores in Canada, maybe someday Smile
