book suggestions?

Question

I liked Nausea, Grendel, Brave New World, and Siddhartha. What would be a good next read? I like stuff that has meaning or some philosophical implications. So please don't say Artemis Fowl or Kite Runner or anything like that.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut

I'll give you some pedestrian suggestions, ok? Don't hate...this is not intellectual stuff, but it does deal with realities.

Fredrick Forsythe---The Dogs of War, The Deceiver, Day of the Jackel, Odessa File.....

Thomas Harris---Black Sunday, Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, Hannibal Rising

Mario Puzo---The Godfather, The Sicilian, Fools Die

Lynn Freed---Home Ground, The Bungalow, Reading, Writing and Leaving Home.(she's an awesome writer from South Africa, and a friend)

Alex Hailey--Roots

Arthur Hailey---this guy used to research an industry every 2 years, then write a book about it. You learn how things work.
Wheels---the car industry---Hotel---The Moneychangers (banking) The Final Diagnosis (a hospital) In High Places, (government) if you like those, read more of his stuff////
