Can anyone recommend VI or Carribbean authors for fiction and titles/authors for non fiction such as history, gardening, and culture? What are some standards for grade school literature? Also, I've noticed that film is becoming a big thing in the islands. Can anyone point me in the direction of notable directors/producers/films that have come out of the VI's?

The Settler's Handbook includes some of this. There are simply a ton of books and movies, and I would have to sit here for an hour and type. Try an amazon.com search.
