Not only does this book describe the Indian society very well, it gives you a taste of a servant's life and how it can drive you mad.
"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Paints a fantastic picture of an American era, and describes the conflict between love and society's expectations and norms.
"Lord of the Flies" by William Golding
After reading this novel, you know exactly how evil human kind is in the core. Beware, though, the story breaks your heart and gives you a horrible, empty feeling afterwards...
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll
The book teaches you to really explore your imagination, and is a nice, light read. You have a constant smile on your face while reading it! :)

The Complete Calvin and Hobbes
The book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins is easily one of the most engrossing pieces of non-fiction one can read to learn about the true drivers behind globalization, espionage, corporate cronyism, the emergence of such "artificial" organizations as the World Bank and the IMF, and most importantly, debt "enslavement", all as seen from an insider's view. It explains in simple words why over the past 40 years the developing world paradigm has been exploited as heavily as it has, why the BRIC concept was instrumental as a Red Herring to perpetuating the myth of endless growth, and why credit must always flow no matter what to keep the status quo in power. For those who have read the book, and for those who are on the fence about reading it, below we present the three part presentation by John Perkins at the 2006 Veterans for Peace National Convention in which he expounds on all the key ideas in his book, and does an extended Q&A covering topics not discussed previously. We urge everyone to spend at least a few minutes listening to Perkins who gives a unique and non-conflicted expert opinion on the primary force for why the the modern equivalent of enslavement is not by force, but by debt.
