Looking for a good read, please provide me with books you may have read in the past, fiction or non fiction that you think would be a good read. I'm very much into philosophy, political science, religion, war, life etc.

Check out my blog on my recent reads for a reference.

I mostly read fantasy, do you like it?

1984
Fahrenheit 451
Anthony De Mello: Awakening
Les Miserables

Read Fahrenheit 451 very good book. Heard about 1984 definitely on my read list, the other two i will check into. And i'm basically into anything besides romance/ fluff/atheism. Depends on what time of fantasy.. i like sci fi however i like a good theme that makes you think or you can reflect upon not some harry potter type stuff.

pretty mainstream but if you haven't read it yet:

1) ender's game - philosophical, religious, political, war. science fiction.
2) speaker of the dead - very different from ender's game (this is the sequel) but just as good. it's a pretty deep book.

if you read both then kudos and gl.

All Quiet on the Western Front -- WWI Historical Fiction I think? I don't remember much about it, but I really liked it xD

Slaughterhouse 5 by Vonnegut

Illustrate Man -- Book of scifi short stories, really good.
