The first Thich Nhat Hanh book that I read was The heart of understanding (Commentaries on the Prajñaparamita Heart Sutra). I read it in english and I liked it. Then I read spanish translations for Touching peace, Going home and Living Buddha, living Christ.
Since two years we share (we= a group of 5 to 8 friends) buddhist readings and meditation one day a week. We read Thich Nhat Hanh, Pema Chodrom, Shunryu Suzuki, Chogyam Trungpa and Deshimaru. The mayority sintonized very well with the last two authors but found the others a bit boring.

I keep meaning to get some of his writings. He has one called Anger (I think) that I really want to read.

Yes... Anger! I read it more or less two years ago. I lent the book to a friend that wants to kill her boss.
