Thich Nhat Hanh is probably my favorite Buddhist author of all time. Have any of you read any of his work? Poet, peace-activist, teacher, he's a great man. I owe a lot of what I think I know to his work.

Hello, I've heard of him since he founded a few monasteries in Canada if my memory is right. Would you recommend me some of his book? I'm getting interested.

Here are the books I've read by him...
Old Path, White Clouds (definitely a good read)
The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching
The Miracle of Mindfulness
Going Home, Seeing Jesus and Buddha as Brothers
Living Buddha, Living Christ
The Power of Prayer
They are all good books and your local library might have a few of them. Check 'em out!

Having read a few of Thich Nhat Hanh's books I can agree that he writes in a very helpful way for both beginners and long time Buddhists. Sometimes his lessons seem to conflict from book to book but that may just be where I was in my studying at the time I read them.
The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching, I think is a must read for any Buddhist.

That one was my introduction to Buddhism back in 1995. I owe so much to Thich Nhat Hanh for laying the best foundation IMO to my practice and perspective.

"Anger" and "Zen Keys" are a couple of other very good ones. Reading Thich Nhat Hanh has helped me read other, less "for the masses" books. He communicates concepts very plainly and when reading other authors you can apply what has been learned to their language choices.
He's one of my favourite teachers hands down. No one says it quite like him.
The Wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh by himself, is a 4 book compilation that is part poetry, part practice, part writings and other posturing. It's really cool because you can flip around and read about any page and get an understanding on.
