I think the OP created this thread to talk about the book he mentioned, not to get recommendations. :)

I have an interest in the subject, and it just so happens that I've finished the book I was reading today, so I'll give that one a try. Thanks for posting this.

Actually I thought of naming the thread: interesting books...
So it's fine. It serves that purpose as well.  ;)

Can you provide some insight on that book? Why did you like it? Why it is so interesting? Why others may like it? Short synopsis could help, too.

1984, The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy and the Diskworld series are my personal favorites.

I don't really get the second one.

Miserable by V. Hugo, very deep book about social conflicts and poverty, about France in 19th century, but also actual today.

The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy? I didn't read the books, only saw the film, and it was funny enough. But my friends tell me that the books are better.
I really liked "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera. It's a really interesting book.
