A re-vive of this random thread.

I'm reading the book Angela's Ashes. It is absolutley amazing.

I Am The Messenger its really good book and it adresses a regular life of person who is shown the way to greatness.

Brave New World is banned? When did that happen? I adore that book.

It may not be where you live, but I can easily see it being at least challenged in many places.

Amazing book.

I know! I COMPLETELY AGREE!! I've said that to me friends and have used it against my parents as an argument many a times when they didn't want to read this book or that!

Actually, the majority of the books that were banned in 2006 are amazing.

Huckleberry Finn by Twain
Catcher in the Rye by Salinger
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Brave New World by Huxley

All of those are really good and tackle real life issues that are relevant in some way to our society.

P.s. Anyone wishing to complain and arguing for or against the banning of the books should probably click here.

All by Kurt Vonnegut, all brilliant.

-thumbs up- Kurt is amazing. He died too soon =[

another good book to read: "The Case For the Creator" by Lee Strobel.

Looking For Alaska by John Green.

He nailed the human experiences.

Hegemony or Survival - Noam Chomsky
Confessions of an Economic Hitman - John Perkins

The American Zone by L. Neil Lewis

it's fiction but brings up some great points.

Unintended Consquences by John Ross

this is a banned book so you'll have to work to find it but it's worth the read

I recommend A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide By Samantha Power. As you can imagine it talks about genocide. It's a really good book. I highly recommend it.

Any reall, maybe about current issues, like animal rights, enviormental issues, mental, well not mental, but like cutting and stuff...

What kind of issues?

Moved to the appropriate forum.
