A New Book, A New Way of Thinking

I found Confucius particularly interesting and intriguing for two reasons (but yet more to be found). One: It is not a jewish, islamic, or christian/catholic book, and that for me is great because I feel I can get away of cultural and political backgrounds and history for just a second. When I read Confucius one can sense a book filled with knowledge, and with teachings, but I don't quite feel them as the teachings that I receive in school (some are just a boring speech, and a worksheet to be completed), these are like advices, experiences, that you simply absorb. 
These are things you want to learn... It can be absorbed in many ways, and many interpretations can be made.
Two: Each Book is focused on one region of the human life. It tells you before hand what you have to expect and if you are not interested in what that book has to say, you just skip it. It is a relaxed type of reading: not much attention has to be paid to get a message (Not guaranteed you will get the best but...) It makes you enjoy it. 
I will try and remember the most I can about it, for it is a human lesson to be learned in a passive way. 
Enjoy every moment in life...
