This is going to sound odd, but seeing as you attend a European History class, I figure you might be able to help: Do you know of any good books dealing with the history of Poland?

The Big Sleep, Child of God, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest are the books I come back to most often when I answer this question. Though I have to admit that the book I've read most often is The Last Book in the Universe.
