A few recommendations for books that are aren't read as widely as they should be:  Malevil by Robert Merle, Mockingbird by Walter Tevis and The Penultimate Truth by Philip K. Dick.

Another book worth looking at is one I read and enjoyed last month, World Made by Hand by James Howard Kunstler.  Kunstler is probably better know for his blog, Clusterf*ck Nation (stupid forum profanity filter! ), and for his excellent non-fiction The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century, in which he indulges in full-throated (and often hysterical) outrage at the bottomless well of stupidity and cupidity that mankind and it's leaders persist in drowning themselves in.  In contrast, his fiction is measured, almost quiet.
