<p>The hollow kingdom by clare B. Dunkle (great fantasy book)
also girl with a pearl earring is pretty interesting too.</p>
<p>mmmmhmm... 1984, Brave New World, all Ayn Rand, Lord of the FLies slaughterhouse 5... all good</p>
<p>also, The Persian Boy by Mary Renault and Cold Mountain's kinda good</p>
<p>AND the Elegant Universe by Briane Greene... if you're interested in string theory... very easy to understand</p>
<p>The Chosen by Chiam Potok. One of my all-time favorites. However, if you're not even a little bit interested in Jewish culture, I wouldn't recommend it.</p>
