I recommend the following:
Blindness by Jose Saramago.
- A disturbing story about an inexplicable plague of blindness striking a society and how those who are not yet effected deal with those who are and how those who are blinded and quarantined get along. Blindness is very intense and very interesting.
Positively Fifth Street by James McManus.
- A narrative by a reporter sent to Las Vegas by Harpers Magazine to cover the 2000 World Series of Poker and the trial of Sandra Murphy and Rick Tabish, accused of murdering (in a very twisted way) Ted Binion, owner of Binion's Horseshoe Casino. This story has weird sex, violence, gambling, buried silver bullion and more.
Catch 22 by Joseph Heller
- The story of Yossarian, soldier in a World War II bomber group, and his superiors, inferiors and peers, every last one of whom is crazy as a loon.
Watership Down by Richard Adams
- The story of a group of rabbits who strike out on a grand adventure.
