Ok, heres the thing... I want to learn more about the world of Toril. I am only knowledgable on the Sword Coast, Spine of the World, Calimshan and a bit on Sembia after reading David Gross' novel. But I still feel I know very little about what people here talk about. If its not too much trouble, I would like to know more basic info about Harpers, Zhents, lands to the east and the Bloodstone lands and which title would include these. Thanks.

A bit more information on what you want might help Ranin.
1. Do you want a basic rundown on them?
2. Their leadership?
3. What's currently happening with them?
what?

For the Zhentarim... Ruins of Zhentil Keep, both the Heroes' and Villains' Lorebooks, 1e/2e/3e FRCS, any of Ed's FR novels which feature Manshoon and the Black Network, and 3e's Lords of Darkness. See Steven's compiled replies here at Candlekeep also, for plenty on Manshoon and the Black Network. And some of Ed's as well.
For the Harpers... Ed's Code of the Harpers, and some follow-up details in Cloak & Dagger. Also, Ed and Steven and Elaine's compiled replies here at Candlekeep, Elaine's novels... and the entire "Harpers" series of FR novels and the Heroes' Lorebook and Villains' Lorebook for details on important Harper NPCs and their enemies.
As for the lands of the East... Unapproachable East mostly. All editions of the FRCS. City of Ravens Bluff. Old Empires. Dreams of the Red Wizards as well. And Races of Faerun.
And, for the Bloodstone Lands... RAS's Bloodstone Lands sourcebook, the "Bloodstone" modules, both Champions of Valor and Champions of Ruin, and Lost Empires of Faerun.

| Sage forgot the Spellbound box set. :) |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

He forgot Warriors & Priests of the Realms for the Harpers, and Wizards & Rogues of the Realms for the Zhentarim as well.
He also forgot Sea of Fallen Stars which provides some details on the lands around the "eastern" reaches of the Inner Sea.
