Gabriel Garcia Marquez' Chronicle of A Death Fortold...

 

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich... very poignant

 

If you're into intense action... I suggest Robert Ludlum, any Ludlum...

 

Be inspired by Max Lucado's In the Eye of the Storm

 

Fantasy: Tolkien's Silmarillion (pseudo-historical type); Gaiman's Neverwhere... American Gods

 

Filipino Literature: Tree by F. Sionil Jose

 

If you just want to laugh and relax hehe... Calvin and Hobbes saka Beerkada!

Just finished reading Che Guevara - A Revolutionary Life by John Lee Andersen.

 

Great read for anyone interested in Che's whole life - very detailed as the author had access to some previously unreleased Cuban files, did interviews with his 2nd wife, Aleida, and with various people that were close friends and with the Cuban exile who worked for the CIA in conjunction with the Bolivian Army to catch him, Felix Rodriguez.

 

Settle in though, it is over 700 pages with appendicies of about another 20 pages.
