Need a good book to read...

I am in need of a good book and since I'm not usually a big reader, I need some help from like minded world citizens such as yourselves.

Honestly, I'm not a huge novel person, but I will read the right ones. I'm more into social-issue type books. The last really good book I read was Supercapitism http://www.amazon.com/Supercapitalism-Transformation-Business-Democracy-Everyday/dp/0307265617.

Novel-wise, these are novels I've liked a lot in the past. It appears I like creepy books and dystopian type stuff:
Anything by Hunter S Thompson/William Burroughs
1984
The Giver
Slaughterhouse 5
On the Road (duh)

The Jungle - Upton Sinclair - Meat packing conditions early 20th century
Grapes of Wrath - About migrant works in the 30s (I think) by Steinbeck
The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood - Post fundamentalist religious revolution in the US where most women are rendered infertile.

Lately, I've enjoyed reading some socio-political books about food:

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver
The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan
In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan

I've always tried to eat fairly healthy food, limit my impact on the environment, and buy from local and alternative stores where possible. I feel even more strongly about these things after reading these books. This year, we doubled the size of our garden and have enjoyed many tasty salads, side dishes, and main dishes from food we grew ourselves.

I just started Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee. Definitely recommend it based on what I've read so far and the overwhelmingly positive Amazon reviews. The subtitle neatly sums up its content: An Indian History of the American West.

Also, absolutely anything by Peter Matthiessen is worth reading.

I'm trying really hard to catch up on some of all the great new fiction that's been coming out in recent years...

If you want dystopian Atwood, I'd read the more recently written Oryx and Crake (2003) instead of the Handmaid's Tale. I found the Handmaid's Tale had lost some of it's reputed bite when I read it for the first time this year.

The Road (2006) by Cormac McCarthy is a nice bit of short dystopian fiction.

I really liked The Yiddish Policeman’s Union (2007) by Michael Chabon. It's a hardboiled detective novel set in an alternate Yiddish Alaska. Chabon is a great story teller.

Chuck Palahniuk's books are pretty bent (he wrote Fight Club), but if you want to go there I highly recommend Choke (2001), Rant (2007) or Survivor (1999).

Not so dark, dystopian or twisted, but The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007) by Junot Diaz is one of the better novels I read this year.

In a slight travel bent, I also really enjoyed You Shall Know Our Velocity! (2003) by David Eggers.

Thanks for the replies so far. Markus, I've always liked Pahlaniuk but haven't read anything of his since Lullaby. Survivor was my favorite.

I am heading to the library soon and will take any and all suggestions!
