Franny and Zooey by Salinger plus a lot of romances.

I just completed reading Franny and Zooey a couple of days ago the dialog between the characters and subject matter taken place, really intriguing. Made you think I suppose.

-The Legacy of Luna by Julia Butterfly Hill, it is such an inspiring account of her time in Luna the tree.Detachment from materialism is so important.Plus the scenes with the squirrels are so cute.
-anything by Rumi, he is the greatest mystical poet (or any poet) ever
-The Autobiography of Russell Means, he has struggled his whole life and his accounts of being forced into boarding school where they were schooled to de-value their Native American heritages is really chilling.Why isn't this required in middle school?
-Audrey Hepburn:An Elegant Spirit by Sean Hepburn Ferrer is the most beautiful ode to mother and son I have ever read.A truly moving book.
I have too many to post!

1984 - Cliche i know, but it's a classic for a reason - it's bloody amazing! I read it on holiday and couldn't put it down and i thought about it for weeks afterwards.
Orwell's other novel Down and Out in Paris and London is also an incredible book, really really recommend it!
