Some good ones - The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time - Mark Haddon Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides Life of Pi - Yann Martel Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden Mr. Vertigo - Paul Auster - a little strange, but worth reading The Handmaid’s Tale - Margaret Atwood - I started this with a prejudice against Atwood, but it's actually a decent read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams - I actually prefer the movie version, but this is good in it's own right. Watch for Adams' treatment of language. A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess Nineteen Eighty-Four - George Orwell - LOVE Brave New World - Aldous Huxley Journey to the Centre of the Earth - Jules Verne
The Satanic Verses - Salman Rushdie - haven't read it yet, but we're studying it in my Postmodern Lit class, so I'll let you know
