They are old, but hold up in today's world. And I actually think there may be another book with the same title out there, which may be what you were thinking of.

And sometimes it is hard to face these kinds of books which is why I try to do a variety of books and other posts as well.

It reminded me of you because it seems like your cup of tea. I read the first few paragraphs but was disheartened by his awfully sad experiences. I did not bring the book home because I know I don't have the courage to read it just yet.
