1984 was pretty dang good.

Also, look into a series called "Death Lands" by James Axler. It's about survival in a post-apocalyptic world (kinda cliche, but these are dang good books).

Judge and Jury, by Patterson.

Cheesy action book, but after reading nothing but Sociology studies for months anything non-challenging is good.

Just about anything but sci-fi or depressing war books.

"The Trial" ~ Franz Kafka

"Brave New World" ~ Aldous Huxley

"1984" ~ George Orwell

I know you said that you typically dislike sci-fi but one I love and recommend to all is Ender's Game By Orson Scott Card

For after all what's man in nature? A central point in between nothing & all, infinitely far from understanding either.

On The Road by Jack Kerouac.

Just finished it. Great read.

edit - I'm really a fan of Slaughterhouse-Five by Vonnegut as well.

I think I'm going to read some Dostoevsky next. Maybe some Hunter Thompson too.

I just finished Misery by Stephen King and am now working on The Stand.  Misery was very good and The Stand is too, if a little long.

Just finished:



Really good if you're even remotely interested in it.

If you like biographies/ autobiographies, Scar Tissue is really good, and I'm now onto Michael Palin's diaries.
