I am currently nearly finished 'All Quiet On The Western Front'.
It's disturbing, but interesting to get a German soldiers perspective on WW1.
Some stuff was pretty freaky, such as his mother having cancer and him commenting that "the doctors are hopeful she will recover but I've yet to hear of anyone cured of cancer".
That was 90 years ago and still there is no cure.
Next, is 'Scribbling The Cat' by Alexandra Fuller, which is kind of a sequel to "Don't Let's Go To The Dogs Tonight' which is a true story about a white girl growing up in Africa.
