The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, East of Eden by Steinbeck, Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison, One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison and for those who liked Kite Runner, Hosseini's 2nd book, A Thousand Splendid Suns, is even better, IMHO...

my mom used to drink ACV for a while (diluted in water) and she found it to be quite helpful, especially for weight loss. have you heard anything about the effects of long-term vinegar drinking on teeth? i've read some reports that you have to be careful, possibly using a straw, to prevent the acid ...
