Dies the Fire. i loved the first book and am now onto the sequal. in it, all modern technology fails so people have to go back to farming communities or warrior bands.

Animal Farm by George Orwell
Words and Blood by G. Pappini
Pratical Ethics by Peter Singer
Brave New World be Aldous Huxley
And I recommend Alvaro de Campos (Fernando Pessoa) to whom aprecciates existencialist poetry without all those mathematical rules applied to literature
I also recommend Fernando Pessoa and other of his heteronims such as Ricardo Reis and Alberto Caeiro.

A Thousand Splendid Suns (Khaled Hosseini)
-I had to read it for school, but I absolutely loved it (and hated it at the same time for the misery it put the characters through!), but I am definitely going to read The Kite Runner now

Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You (Peter Cameron)
- A Catcher In the Rye style coming of age novel, but it offers a really interesting spin on the classic and I really enjoyed it. The narrator is hilarious!

I just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.

I didn't have high expectations, but it was amazing. I highly recommend it.
