Reading?

[amber-essence.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for a good book (or two, or three), and I thought of a little question that might lead me to something. What good books do you know of that I may have missed out on as a result of being a male in our society (things parents might recommend to their daughters, women to other women, but usually never mothers to sons or men to other men)? I don't necessarily mean anything TG-related; just good old-fashioned literature. I'm open to anything, really.
