I need a new read?

I have read, "A Clockwork Orange", "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", "Flowers for algernon", and "The Catcher in the Rye". I am looking for a new, though provoking, controversial, interesting read. I am really open to anything. I would like to keep it along the lines of reality though (No Sci-fi/fantasy).



Could ya help me out?

'Water for Elephants' by Sara Gruen would be an excellent addition to your list of books. It is very realistic.



Happy reading.

Reply:I recommend Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart. It's the story of an African village and the influence British imperialism has on the structure of the village. It makes a good statement for understanding your audience when trying to make reforms as well. A quick, very good read.
Reply:Lord of the Flies, by William Golding. A story about civilization, savagery, loss of innocence and survival among the fittest. The best recommended read in reality.



Also, read In Search of April Raintree, by Beatrice Culleton. It's the story of two Metis sisters in Manitoba who are wards to Children's Aid Society. April can pass herself off as white, and does, as she is embarrassed of her heritage. Her younger sister, Cheryl has darker skin and is proud of being Metis, and this becomes to basis of many of their battles as they get older (especially when April refuses to look for their parents.) There are shocking revelations where Cheryl is concerned, and it ends in tragedy for her, but it is one hell of a read.



You can find the latter novel at this link: http://www.amazon.com/Search-April-Raint...
Reply:Yes this is probably the best book ive ever read and it was very controversial its very very good i finished it yesterday its called



Gray matter

By: Gary Braver



The sist of it all is



A little boy who has some disabilities and his mom blames herself because of something she did in the past and these kids are being killed so their stem cells will go to children with disabilities but this is a private procedure that noone knows about except the parents that are getting it for their children.

They figure out that it actually makes the children crazy and stuff so its really good and theres action from beginning to end!



10/10 :P
Reply:one of my fav. books is *The Clan of The Cave Bear* by Jean Auel ... its a long read.. the first two chapters seem to drag on.. but if you can get past them the storyline is awesome... very well written.. very descriptive.. its hard to put it down.

By Carlos Castaneda. I think you will like it. mind blowing, lots of drugs in the desert and lots of philosophical questions. enjoy it!
Reply:"Sea to shining sea" by James Alexander Thom. Tells the story of the Clark family (of Lewis and Clark) in the 1800s
Reply:Breaking open the head - Daniel Pinchbeck

You could go to Amazon and enter all the books you like and see what recommendations appear
Reply:Ishmael by David Quinn. It tells the story of a telepathic gorilla who teaches a man about the two types of people in the world: the "leavers" and the "takers" and how the takers took over the leavers, including their history. I read it in my Intro to Philosophy class and everyone who I know that has read it has had a very strong reaction to it (they've either loved it or absolutely hated it)
Reply:Trainspotting, or Rant, or The Wanting Seed.



or Fight club. Or pretty much any book by Chuck Palahnuik is really provoking and interesting.
