The Things they Carried, by Tim O'Brien, is an interesting collection of war stories. What I like about the book is that you feel like you're there, since it has very good descriptions. Also being in short stories, that are separated, you aren't urged to read it in one go. You can read a little every day. If I tell you anything about the plot of any story I would ruin it for you. Find it, read it, like it, and remember who told you about it.

Boris recommends For Whom the Bell Tolls

This book is written by Hemingway and it's really nice and intense. If you like action and adventure mixed with a love story, this is the book for you. We see a young saboteur that has to blow up a bridge, and track this man's actions in sunny Spain in a Guerilla camp.

The Man Who Laughs is a very emotional and rather scary book I read a while ago. It tells the story of a boy, who got kidnapped when he was a child and then was tortured. This torture was inspired by the fact that at the time the book was written, people found it funny to see "freaks" in the circus. So Hugo tells beforehand of all the other kids, who were, for example, put in a box so their bones got deformed. The laughing man got his mouth extended so that it looked like he was laughing all the time, but on the inside he was very sad.

This is an amazing book that tells two stories at the same time. The first one is about a young man who wakes up in a hospital and finds out his girlfriend has died in a bus crash. While he wanders through his memoires, a soldier from World War I tells his own story of lost love.

Just being it's easy but its lightness is unbearable. In his novel, Milan Kundera shows us the life of four different people who at some points have relationships between each other. He writes from their perspectives about life and its unbearable lightness. Love is the main subject of the book even though it is hidden.

If you like books with deep meaning and symbols you will adore this one.
