Yeah it was a dope story.

Animal Farm by George Orwell. A classic. You've probably read that and don't need a synopsis.

The Long Walk by Slavomir Rawicks

In 1941, the author and a small group of fellow prisoners escaped a Soviet labor camp. Their march out of Siberia, through China, the Gobi Desert, Tibet, and over the Himalayas to British India is a remarkable statement about man's desire to be free. With a new Afterword by the author, and the author's Foreword to the Polish edition, this new edition of The Long Walk is destined to outrank its classic status. (6 X 9, 256 pages, map) "One of the epic treks of the human race. Shackleton, Franklin, Amundsen...history is filled with people who have crossed immense distances and survived despite horrific odds. None of them, however, has achieved the extraordinary feat Rawicz has recorded. He and his companions crossed an entire continent--the Siberian arctic, the Gobi desert and then the Himalayas--with nothing but an ax, a knife, and a week's worth of food..

Parable of the Sower is a futuristic, dystopian, science-fiction novel. In its reality, the United States has devolved into states and/or city-states warring for the few remaining resources. Life is cheap, and the economy is becoming reborn as company towns.

23 Minutes in Hell by Bill Wiese.

If your beliefs are sensitive then skip this. Recounts the supernatural first hand experience of Bill being sent to Hell for 23 minutes. Horrific details, describes how he was mauled and torn apart by repulsive beasts. Depicts deformed spider/insect like creatures in chains and the screams of agony as billions of souls burn endlessly. Simply a God forsaken account of the pit of Hell.

I'll admit I slept with the light on for several nights. G'luck, mate.

"sounds nuts" is an understatement. Despite speculation of it's validity, it's a real wake-up a call. Definitely shook my whole outlook on morality and consequence. Also has you question the downside to infinite possibility. A must read for the open and curious minded.

Whoever said Kiterunner, my nigga.

Want somethin you're gonna have to try hard to wrap your head around, look for Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being. If you can't find that try for The Joke or The Book of Laughter and Forgetting.

If you want something easier to read, that's more of a story and less a series of metaphorical insights into human nature, you can try Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses for a fun and unusual read.
