Okay! Because of pregnancy, I've taken up a lot of reading. I used to be a pretty big book worm and now because of sitting around doing nothing, I'm re-realizing that books are my friends.
I'm pretty picky about the books I read, I'll give every book a chance, but I would -really- love the books reccomended to be something around the following:
Dark satires! Essentially all satire's are dark, but I love satires with the whole Utopia/Dystopia deal going on. I've read Brave New World and finally getting my stubborn self to read 1984. Books you know of that are like the above are TOTALLY cool to reccomend. Really though, any kind of satire or satirical essay is good for me.
Philosophy books. Not one's based mainly on religion. I love plato to death and am currently reading 12 or 13 of his diaglouge's. Now I do like Descarte's Meditations on the first philosophy which goes into god and such, but I tend to like the books that focus on morals and ethics, and lesser on religion.
Now to be a picky little person, if you recommend a book that has to do with philosophy and the such, having an example of what is examined in the book would be cool for me. Granted, I'll prolly find it interesting, I just tend to like to know what kind of deal the book examines. For example, Plato's dialouges about Socrates tend to examine things such as justice, virtue, government, art, life, etc. If you can find me a book or philosopher (even new age philosopher's) that can give me a good read, do so!
