2. The Road by Cormac McCarthy
3. Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet by Jeffrey SachsThe second one is a fiction and acclaimed work, published just recently.Below is a list of "19 Novels/Plays/Poetry You Can Read Before You Are Nineteen", which I feel should be an enjoyable read. I've always wanted to read them, but was finding excuses not to. Inclusive of the books above, they are:1. Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
2. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
3. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez (re-reading)
4. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

15. Poems by Ted Hughes
16. The Sonnets by ShakespeareBrave New World and 1984 are enlightening work too, and even selected text for A level literature. Don't think I'll like to reread them now, so they are still nicely kept in my cabinet. Keep up with recycling.
