Recommend Books, Please

[queerbychoice]

It's that time of year again and my mother is demanding a birthday list from me. I have an old list that I've been using for years and just crossing things off as they were bought, but I'm bored with everything left on it so I want to compose a new one from scratch. Recommend some stuff I should ask for, please. Especially books. Usually 85% of what I ask for is books.

Not sure if you're into his kind of stuff, but I like Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club, Invisible Monsters, Choke, Survivor).

For non-fiction, I recommend:
Lies My Teacher Told Me by James Loewen.
No Logo by Naomi Klein.
Can't Buy My Love by Jean Kilbourne.
Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser.

Just a few books I've finished recently, I don't know if you have read them or not...
Enjoy!

transientdyke recommended Lies My Teacher Told Me in a journal entry recently and it sounded great. I should definitely ask for that one. I'm not familiar with any of the others, so I'll look them up.
